DRAWN INTO THE STORY
"We are witnesses!" The scripture readings
for Easter Sunday concentrate on details
reported by eyewitnesses. Listen carefully
and you will be drawn into the stories
yourself. Peter reports the good works Jesus
did, his death on the cross, and his
resurrection. The passage from John's
Gospel has us running to the empty tomb
with Peter and John and peering inside to
see the cloths used to cover Jesus' body.
Psalm 118 sums up our response: "It is
wonderful in our eyes!"
What resurrection details do we see in our
lives today? How have we died to our old
lives and been raised up again with Jesus?
Let us pay attention to the new life around
us. It is wonderful in our eyes.

Fifty years or so ago, it was popular to teach that
every Sunday is a “Little Easter.” Today, after
several decades of intense liturgical reform, it is
more proper to think of today as a “Big Sunday.”
On every Sunday of the year, the Church is
obliged to assemble, keeping the day holy. In
most places, we hardly attain the goal of
gathering all who are in Christ by baptism. Look
around today and see what a Big Sunday looks
like!
Our tradition speaks of remembering,
anamnesis, as the antidote to “amnesia,” the
tragic forgetting of who God is and who we are
as God’s most beloved creation. On this Easter
day, we are at our very best. We remember who
God is, and we remember who we are in God’s
eyes: beloved sons and daughters, reborn to
eternal life in baptismal waters. We rekindle our
candles and reclaim our baptismal promises. As
a “Big Sunday,” today also reflects the character
of festivity and leisure that should mark every
Lord’s Day. We wear “Sunday best” today, and
we may take some time, especially in the
northern states, to stroll through a budding
garden. It is truly a “Big Sunday,” and how
different our lives would be if we took its values
and traditions forward into all the Sundays of our
lives. -James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

BEGINNING AND END
Faith is the beginning and the end is love.
REMEMBER
YOU, O
RISEN LORD
-St. Ambrose
We remember you,
O risen Lord,
New Covenant at the
feast of the cross.
Your resurrection
dresses the table
for the bread of heaven
and the cup of salvation.
Blessed are you!

This is the day the Lord has
made; let us rejoice and be glad. Alleluia!
Easter is always, but especially in this
Jubilee Year of Mercy, the victory of God’s
gentle but invincible mercy raising up
Jesus, “faithful witness, the first-born of
the dead” (Revelation 1:5), “first-born
among many brothers [and
sisters]” (Romans 8:29), conquering death
in all its forms, in all of us in the human
Family. In Luke’s Vigil Gospel, heavenly
messengers send the women forth:
“Remember what [Jesus] said to
you” (Luke 24:6). In John’s Gospel, the
empty tomb likewise “sends forth” Mary
Magdalene, Peter, and the Beloved
Disciple, who believe though they do not
fully understand. Finally, Luke’s evening
“Emmaus” Gospel sends us forth, as
“missionaries of mercy,” assuring us that
we will encounter the Risen Lord, today
and every day, in “the stranger” we meet
along life’s journey, in “the Word that
makes our hearts burn within us,” and “in
the breaking of bread”.

“This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice in it and be glad.”
Psalm 118
HERE COMES EVERYBODY!
In John’s Easter morning Gospel, the
Church proclaims a heartfelt welcome for all of
us, whoever we are and however we’ve arrived
here. For in John’s characters, all of us,
believers and doubters, are present at the empty
tomb. Consider Mary Magdalen. Renowned
for loving Jesus, the empty tomb doesn’t “prove”
to Mary that Jesus is risen, only missing.
So we, with many contemporaries, even fellow
believers, sometimes may have experienced as
Mary did the world “still dark” and Jesus
absent, admitting with Mary, “We don’t know
where Jesus is!” Or, like Peter and “the
disciple whom Jesus loved” and who “both ran,”
we may be eager to believe. But Peter once
“ran” in the opposite direction, three times
denying Jesus—another failure some of us can
relate to. Even “the beloved disciple,” loyal to the
very foot of the cross, who “saw and believed,”
cannot yet clearly define that belief, for this
Easter Gospel
concludes, “They did
not yet understand.”
The Gospel for Easter this year reminds me of little children.
Mary of Magdala runs from the tomb when she sees it has been
opened. Then Peter and the other disciple race each other to the
tomb. The other one wins the race but Peter goes in first (John
20:1–5). I can picture the disciple stopping suddenly and Peter
running into him, tripping and ending up in the tomb. But
putting slapstick aside, there is another way they are like
children.
Remember the Gospel about St. Thomas, who would not believe
Jesus’ resurrection until he could see him? Compare that to the
disciple in today’s reading, who “saw [the empty tomb] and
believed” (John 20:9). That is real faith. For all he knew,
someone could have taken Jesus’ body and left the cloths
behind. But he must have remembered Jesus saying that he
would rise again. That is the kind of faith we find in a little child.
Children will believe in things they cannot see, especially if there
is a good reason. We “bribe” them into believing in Santa Claus
or the tooth fairy by giving them Christmas presents or money
under the pillow. They will also believe in Someone real who
they cannot see. If we teach them that God made them and loves
them, if we love them ourselves and teach them to love others,
they will have good reasons to believe in God. As they get older,
we can teach them how to pray, save money for the poor, visit
the sick, or volunteer to help the homeless. We can reinforce
what they learn in religion class and encourage them as they
prepare for First Communion or confirmation.
Jesus didn’t say that only children could enter the Kingdom. He
said we must become like children if we want to enter the
kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18:3). What he means is that not
only can we help teach children how to have faith, we can also
learn from them about faith. Becoming like children does not
mean being selfish or stubborn, throwing tantrums when we
don’t get our way. Those are childish behaviors that we put
aside. Instead, we can keep a child-like faith
and trust in God. Teaching them about God is
a great way to help our own faith to grow. By
giving them real examples of God’s love for
them, they will continue to believe long after
they have given up the fairy tales of childhood.

against hunger.
The walk begins at Peck’s Market in

share an after-walk celebration.
The Walk for Hunger has collected
