Easter time is the most sacred part of the whole liturgical year. It is the one towards which the rest of the cycle converges. Easter is the feast of feasts. It is the solemnity of solemnities. During Easter we focus on the Word Incarnate finally attaining the object towards which He always tended to. Man regains what he lost by Adam's sin.
Jesus Christ is no longer the victim of death. He is the conqueror who destroys death and proclaims life to the world. The time when Christ shed His precious blood for our ransom, the humiliations He endured, all His sufferings and the agony on the cross, these are all over now. Now all is glory. Glory for Christ and glory for us.
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
