At Easter, we celebrate the triumph of life over death and the resurrection of our Lord. All around us, creation demonstrates the point. Spring pushes out from the winter cold and gray (albeit less dramatically in our semi-tropical climate). And this year, we ourselves begin to emerge from two years of fear, sickness, and death across the globe. To hope again. To hug again.
The resurrection of our Savior represents the power of good over evil, the power of love over hate. And by that, I do not mean that goodness always wins the battle (in fact, it often doesn’t). It is that goodness wins in the end, in the ways that really matter. That when we understand the true purpose of our lives, we can find the strength to choose love. To choose hope.
Happy Easter, Loyola.
