Signs and Shadows of the Resurrection
God, in His wisdom, gave us hints and reflections of the resurrection even in nature and creation:
1. The Sun – Rising in the morning, setting at night, only to rise again. So too, we are born, we die, and we shall rise again.
2. The Phoenix – That mystical bird of Egypt, sensing its end, prepares a pyre of mud and sets itself ablaze. Out of the ashes, by divine decree, a new creature emerges on the third day. A parable of death overcome by divine power.
3. Our Hair and Nails – Cut them, and they grow again. A small but certain witness to the restorative power hidden in creation.
Beloved, let this be your comfort and your joy: Christ is risen! And because He lives, we too shall live. Let not your heart be troubled by the fear of death, for death has been swallowed up in victory.
Let us live as those who will rise. Let us repent, for repentance is the first breath of resurrection. Let us love, for love is the seal of eternal life. Let us watch and pray, for the day is near.
May the Resurrection of our Lord be the cornerstone of your faith, the fire of your hope, and the fountain of your love.
Amen.
May the name of the Holy God be praised forever and ever in every tongue that He has created, today and always.
May the blessings of God's mother, the virgin, and the cross be upon us.
Amen.
