Wow! There is no doubt in my mind that the past 40 days of the Lenten season and the Holy Triduum were saturated with lots of activities. In fact, many people were praying that it should end faster than expected, because every Wednesdays and Fridays were Stations of the Cross, fasting, abstinence, penance, and Reconciliation services.
My dear friend(s), have you noticed that the season of Easter which we started yesterday seems to be less busy compared to the Lenten season? In fact, it's all about wining and dining...😁😁 Yes, there is actually nothing much to do.
The same thing happened to the disciples when they heard the news of the resurrection of their master. It seems also that it was
only the guards and the elders who were trying to do something as the gospel of Matthew 28, 8-15 reports. What were they doing? 😳😳
Unfortunately, what they were doing was wrong by trying to cover the truth of the resurrection. But, can the truth be concealed or suppressed? No, that is the power of the resurrection.
St Peter affirms this truth when he said, "This man, who was put into your power by the deliberate intention and foreknowledge of God, you took and had crucified and killed by men outside the law. But God raised him to life, freeing him from the pangs of Hades, for it was impossible for him to be held in its power."🙏🏻
Today i pray for you: whatever lies the enemies may have told over your head to destroy you, whatever your enemies may have done to cover your face from success, and breakthrough, and marriage, and employment, may the power of the resurrection uncover and lead others to the truth about you. Amen
I am happy now because I have resumed my juice therapy which was on hold since the beginning of the Lenten season. I was so excited when I took a chilled glass of pineapple juice at about 6am 😜.. Hope you have taken breakfast? See you tomorrow, God willing. Love you!😘
Good morning!
Rabbi
