On the Second Sunday of Easter, The Rev. Michael Singer reflects on a question many quietly carry: what difference does Easter really make? Even after the resurrection, the world can feel unchanged—still marked by fear, uncertainty, and brokenness. The disciples knew this reality well, remaining behind locked doors even after hearing the good news.

Fr. Michael invites us to see ourselves in their story. Like the disciples, we often live behind doors closed by fear, regret, or uncertainty. Yet Easter is not just something that happened—it is an invitation into new life. While Jesus enters our fear and offers peace, he does not force the doors open. That work is ours.

The resurrection becomes real when we begin to unlock the doors of our own hearts and lives—stepping into hope, courage, and love. Easter makes a difference when we choose to live it.
