EASTERING 2014
I SEE EASTERING in
blossoms of great beauty
and Spring green shoots
persistently pushing
through the once
calloused ground after a
long and harsh winter.
I SEE EASTERING as the
deer skip around looking
for food for their
offspring and wanting to
bring joy to those
eagerly awaiting new
signs of Spring.
I SEE EASTERING in the
happy face of a hundred
year old woman, who
declared with great joy:
“I can hardly wait to
see the smiling face of
our loving and gracious
God.”
I SEE EASTERING in the
growing number of young
people searching for
hope and meaning and for
ways to get involved
in mission work, to
create a world of
justice and peace, and
to change the shape of
things to come.
I SEE EASTERING in the
lives of people moving
from tragedy to triumph
, in places often
ravaged by wars
and
destruction of many
kinds, working to create
a new world according to
God’s design.
I SEE EASTERING in stones
rolled back, removing
barriers of greed,
prejudice, and power
abused, enabling people
to walk with dignity ,
and live their lives
with hope and meaning
,as people living in the
power of our loving God.
Easter Blessings to all! Sr. Brenda Walsh
