Alleluia! He is risen.

Jesus, raised from the dead, allows the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins to write:

               I say more: the just man Justices;

               Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces;

               Acts in God’s eye what in God’s eye he is –

               Christ – for Christ plays in ten thousand places,

               Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his

               To the Father through the features of men’s faces.

May the power of the Resurrection strengthen us and encourage us to “put on Christ” and in so doing transform our lives and our world. Live Jesus in our hearts. Forever.

May you have a joyous Easter season and may Christ Easter in us.
