Happy Easter!

Saint Augustine said: “We are an Easter people and ‘Alleluia’ is our song!” I have loved that quotation since I first heard it years ago. It helps me look at our faith as based on the miracle of the Resurrection and all that it promises.

When I was a child, my logic told me that Christmas is more important than Easter. After all, I argued, if Jesus hadn’t been born at Christmas, we wouldn’t be able to celebrate Easter. My mother tried to convince me of Easter’s greater importance, but I was a hard sell.

I am now completely sold on the importance of Easter! (The Incarnation is a close second, of course!) Helping with my parish RCIA process has been a wonderful way to anticipate and celebrate Easter every year. The coming of spring could be viewed as evidence of Creation joining in our Easter celebration.

Saint Augustine also said: “A Christian is an Alleluia from head to toe.” May you find joy throughout the celebration of this Easter season. And may your joy make you “an Alleluia from head to toe.”
