A Revelation of the Heart
In the quiet of dawn, a whisper stirs, calling souls from their slumber, urging them to rise from the depths of their own sleep. It is a call to awaken, not just from nightly dreams, but from the shadows that linger within, to let Christ's light shine upon the dormant places.
At the resurrection, a profound mystery unfolded. Jesus, once bound by flesh, transcended into the boundless expanse of Light, the eternal and deathless Christ. Light, a fitting metaphor for the Divine, illuminates all it touches, transforming the seen into the unseen, the mortal into the immortal.
In those early days of Christianity, the moment of resurrection remained veiled, elusive to the grasp of artistry. The New Testament speaks not of the event itself, but of its aftermath—guarded tombs, bewildered witnesses, and the stirring of life in once-silent graves. Resurrection, a communal awakening, a shared rising from the slumber of existence.
We, too, have our resurrection moments amidst the daily hum of life. Moments when the veil between worlds grows thin, when light pierces through our doubts and fears. Jesus invites us to believe in this light, to become bearers of its radiant truth.
As the orange globe ascends each morning, it heralds a resurrection of its own. Its rays painting the world anew, whispering to us to walk with hope in faith, for love endures. Our steps are lighter under the warmth of dawn, hearts humming with a love song that rises from within. Each day, a gift, each sunrise a benediction.
With the dawn comes a chorus of voices. Women with grieving hearts find solace in its gentle glow, priests stand before altars bathed in its tender hues, and the world awakens to colors that soften even the hardest of hearts. In this light, we find hope, we embrace justice, and we hold fast to truth, knowing that the light is ever-present.
Sunrise on Easter is not merely a time of day; it is a state of being. It is where fear gives way to hope, where peace meets mortality, and where light breaches the barricades around our hearts. In this sunrise, we find the courage to sing our own Alleluia, a song of resurrection and renewal.
The sunrise of Easter is more than a celestial event—it is a revelation of the heart. It invites us to awaken, to rise, and to let Christ's light illuminate our path. Each dawn, a reminder of the eternal truth: love abides, and we are called to be children of the light.
