Denial, rejection, betrayal, and deception control our irreverent response. God is denied. God is crucified. These are profane days. But now, at Easter, the risen flesh lives again.
Life is restored.
What could have been an eternity of vengeance from an angry God, is annulled when Christ calls Mary by name, when He speaks to Peter. The power of God's incarnation is again proclaimed. The Word guides and teaches and welcomes us. The One who is sacred is made known to us in such a way. Connected to this Good News are sacred acts given by God as signs of grace for every age.
