In this sermon at the Great Vigil of Easter, Mother Rebecca explores the resurrection story from Luke’s Gospel, focusing on the rhetorical question, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?” She points out how sometimes we miss this opportunity because we dismiss the source of the news, just as the male disciples did with the news the women proclaimed.
