The Resurrection of the Lord
Reflection by Pope Benedict XVI
What is Resurrection?...
First of all, there is light...
Where there is light, life is born,
chaos is transformed into cosmos...
the resurrection of Jesus is an eruption of light...
With the resurrection,
the Lord's day enters the nights of history...
This Light alone~Jesus Christ~ is the true light,
something more than the physical phenomenon of light.
He is pure Light:
God, Himself, who causes a new creation to be born
in the midst of the old transforming chaos into cosmos...
Let us pray to the Lord
that the fragile flame of the candle He has lit in us,
the delicate light of His word
and His love amid the confusions of this age,
will not be extinguished in us,
but will become ever stronger and brighter,
so that we, with Him,
can be people of the day,
bright stars lighting up our time.

Our time is passing, and we are only to give what we ought. A great week to call on the Divine Mercy, and to place our trust in Him. Easter Blessings!
