The journey of Jesus from Jerusalem to Calvary is a journey of hope. The days of Paschal Triduum are filled with a movement from sadness to joy, pain to healing, abandonment to reconciliation, fear to faith, darkness to light, death to life and despair to hope. All these experiences of intense emotions were felt by Jesus, Mother Mary, disciples and others who loved Jesus and believed in Him. Jesus entered through the heart of sadness, abandonment, fear, darkness, death, and despair to reach new life and hope. Thus, He became for each one of us the source and model for moving toward a new life and hope.
Most probably, you too might have gone through the experiences of pain and despair in your own life. Pain and despair can come to you in many ways – Someone might have hurt or rejected you, or you might have lost a dear one and so on. Now, pick one of such events and reflect on how Jesus can inspire you to move toward a new hope. Through the Paschal Mystery, Jesus has shown by his own example that death and despair are not final. If we unite ourselves with Him, we too can move every day from death to life and despair to hope.
Wish you a Happy Easter filled with Hope!
We Christians are the People of Hope and Jesus gives us the courage against all hopeless situations in life. Whenever we still hope for better tomorrow we share in the resurrection of Jesus. Happy Easter. May Risen Lord fill us all with HOPE
