 | EASTER MOMENTS | Aug 11, 2007 |
Happy Easter to all!
A new look for the site. I'm shifting from "Questions to God" to "Easter Moments" in keeping with the season. Also, starting Easter, blogs will be posted only every weekend.
Why "Easter moments"? If Jesus during his earthly life could be found in some privileged places, the Risen Lord is to be encountered in a totally different way. He is not to be found in any single place or even any given time. He is at once seen in several places in several different times—and strangely, at times He is wearing different faces, too, so that the disciples find it hard to recognize Him. As the 19th-century Jesuit poet, Gerard Manley Hopkins, writes in his poem "As Kingfishers Catch Fire":
“For Christ plays in ten thousand places,
lovely in limbs and lovely in eyes not his
to the Father through the features of men’s faces.”
That’s how it will be as we go through Easter—which is really the rest of our lives. The Risen Lord is, as Karl Rahner puts it, “incredibly near," but sensing this nearness can be quite tricky if we don’t keep our eyes—and our hearts—open! We will need to be alert to catch glimpses of Him.
