TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Over the centuries, the Church has demonstrated a wonderful ability to adopt a culture’s favorite symbols and customs and assign them new meaning. Easter eggs have a very ancient pedigree: nature’s perfect package, emblem of new life, dyed and decorated and given as gifts in ancient Egypt, Rome, China, and Persia. Just as the long hard winter is over, the egg bursts with promise of life and nourishment. Long ago, Christians came to see the egg not as a symbol of spring’s rebirth, but of ours, and as a sign of Christ’s tomb. A Polish legend says that Mary, in com-passion for the soldiers at the cross, gave them eggs, but that her tears stained their shells with brilliant color. Legends have their origin in tales told around a hearth, but they often contain a profound truth. The idea of Mary, the first Christian, engaged in a merciful act of forgiveness and tenderness even in the shadow of the cross, describes the age‑old wish that Christ “Easter in us.” —Copyright © J.

EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD APRIL 21, 2019 Year C

HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Easter! Or as most other languages prefer: Blessed Pasch—Passover! Pasqua, Pascua, Páscoa, Pâques! Israel’s Passover through the Red Sea to the Promised Land! Jesus’ Passover through the Cross to resurrection! Our cat-echumens’ Passover last night, and ours once upon a time, through Baptism’s waters to our family’s Eucharist! Welcome, everybody! As someone once said of the Catholic Church, “Here comes everybody!” So in this Jubilee of Mercy, we make our own Saint John Chrysostom’s Easter welcome from fourteen hundred years ago: “Let everyone enjoy this radiant feast! You who fasted from Lent’s beginning, and you who didn’t fast at all, rejoice! The table’s richly set! Come, take from it, everybody, no worries, no embarrassment! All of you, taste the banquet of faith! Enjoy the feast of forgiveness! Let no one grieve for having sinned again and again: pardon has risen from the tomb!” Happy Easter! Blessed Pasch! Welcome, everybody! — © J. S. Paluch Co.

PARADISE LOST

After the fall in the Garden of Eden, Adam was walking with his sons Cain and Abel. As they passed by the ruins of the Garden of Eden, One of the boys asked, “What’s that?” Adam replied, “Boys, that’s where your mother ate us out of house and home.”

O SONS AND DAUGHTERS

O sons and daughters of the King, whom heavenly hosts in glory sing,

today the grave has lost its sting. Alleluia!

That Easter morn at break of day, the faithful women went their way to seek the tomb where Jesus lay.

Alleluia!

An angel clad in white they see, who sat and spoke unto the three, "Your Lord has gone to Galilee."

Alleluia!

When Thomas first the tidings heard that some had seen the risen Lord,

he doubted the disciples' word. Lord, have mercy!

At night the apostles met in fear; among them came their Master dear

and said, "My peace be with you here." Alleluia!

"My pierced side, O Thomas, see, and look upon my hands, my feet;

not faithless but believing be." Alleluia!

No longer Thomas then denied; he saw the feet, the hands, the side.

"You are my Lord and God!" he cried. Alleluia!

How blest are they who have not seen and yet whose faith has constant been,

for they eternal life shall win. Alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
