This episode reflects on the Easter story: the grieving women at the empty tomb, the angel’s words "Do not be afraid," and how the resurrection overturns worldly assumptions about death and power. It contrasts human reassurances with the radical invitation to trust that God makes the impossible possible.

Through trembling ground and astonished joy, the homily encourages listeners to move from fear into faithful action—living out love and justice with the assurance that God is doing a new thing and Christ is risen.

We’re glad you’re here.

This homily was offered in the presence of the congregation.
