Whatever the chaos in our life, God brings order out of it, as he brought life from the dark, empty tomb. At the heart of that transformation and new creation of light and life from chaos is the Eucharist, the Sacrament of Life. Younger people and the more marginalized tend to see life as more chaotic. But the stars continue to guide sailors in the night. The order of the seasons, the laws of nature, the stability of mathematics are so many points of the compass that reassure us that there is a way out of the seeming quagmire that surrounds us at times.
Religion can make sense out of the confusion, because faith is light and a grounding in the truth.
Jesus believed and trusted his Father. He knew the ultimate outcome of his life was resurrection from the dead. Our Eucharist is a celebration of the suffering and death, but especially of the love that made endurance possible and brought Jesus to final triumph in resurrection. Our life in Christ becomes celebration. At the heart of our celebration is the word of God that instructs us in the meaning of life.
