Homily (Fr Paul Kelly)
These wonderful Easter texts , lovingly taken from
the Word of God….. ever ancient but also ever new). Remind us of God’s, loving
faithfulness and presence with us and our ancestors, throughout humanity’s long
history….
If God is with us, what have we to fear.. who can be against
us….(as Saint Paul Puts it so beautifully – and this is coming from a saint and
later martyr… who knew the enormous costs and difficulties that are to be face
in being faithful to God’s love. God in return and in advance has promised to
be faithful to us always, and has shown
this faithfulness throughout human history -- and so wonderfully on this Easter
celebtation, God has shown his complete unity with us through Christ’s life,
ministry, death and resurrection…. Christ unites himself always to those
who suffer .. especially those poorest, and those most bowed down and
mistreated. Jesus is risen and alive – and lives actively in the
hearts and lives of those who are down-trodden and mistreated by the world and
its cruelties. He is with and in those who suffer and he
takes this suffering onto himself ….
He defeats the power of destruction and transformed the world
At Easter, Our Lord's resurrection sends out the most wonderful message to the
world. To people who are struggling.., and those who feel hopeless.
….and also those who feel they will never be good enough, or worthy enough… and
those who fear they can never be forgiven… For today's feast says…
YES>>>>
The love and dignity that God intends for each
and every one of his beloved sons and daughters, this dignity, this
love, this life never ends. Our value and the worth of every person
cannot be destroyed or defeated even by the worst that others wrongdoing or
lack of reverence can wreak. And the harm that people can do in this
world is enormous. But, God's last and final right of reply, speaks much louder
than that! Our Lord's Resurrection sends a message to all the world, that all
who suffer, matter greatly to the Lord, and God will not forget them nor fail
(later if not sooner) to give them and restore to them the dignity that the
world so often denies them. Hatred, violence, failure to give people the
dignity and care they need… these things will not prevail over Our God of
faithfulness and justice. Jesus has definitively and permanently "thrown
in his lot" with us … and promises to bring him through to where he has
gone ahead of us. Meanwhile, we are made bold in our determination to stand up
for those who suffer and who call out for respect and to do everything possible
to give practical help and care to those in need. Christ shows us they are
worth every effort. And this effort will ultimately not be in vain, no matter
what the obstacles.
God is with us, God will never abandon us… God
truly is at work renewing us, restoring us, vindicating those who
have been mistreated ...and giving us new hope .. new life… and indescribable
mercy….
- Jesus is an unequivocal "yes" — the
enormous and seemingly thankless and much-derided cost of self-sacrifice and
service, love, compassion, mercy, gentleness, and generosity of spirit… of
thinking more of others and less of ourselves… is all worth it.
May God bless us and renew us in his astounding
love… and ever-abiding faithfulness… and eternal care… and may our lives be
more and more marked by these wonderful qualities marked by the life, death,
and resurrection of Christ .... with every new day….. Happy Easter!
