This is our faith: Real life, real death, real Resurrection, in real friendship with Jesus, Alleluia!
Homily for Easter Sunday, delivered in St Patrick's Catholic Church, Calliope, Qld.
"I have risen, and I am with you still, alleluia. You have laid your hand upon me, alleluia. Too wonderful for me, this knowledge, alleluia, alleluia." (Entrance Antiphon, cf. Ps 138).
"Peter addressed Cornelius and his household: ‘You must have heard about the recent happenings in Judaea; about Jesus of Nazareth and how he began in Galilee, after John had been preaching baptism. God had anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and because God was with him, Jesus went about doing good and curing all who had fallen into the power of the devil. Now I, and those with me, can witness to everything he did throughout the countryside of Judaea and in Jerusalem itself: and also to the fact that they killed him by hanging him on a tree, yet three days afterwards God raised him to life and allowed him to be seen, not by the whole people but only by certain witnesses God had chosen beforehand. Now we are those witnesses – we have eaten and drunk with him after his resurrection from the dead – and he has ordered us to proclaim this to his people and to tell them that God has appointed him to judge everyone, alive or dead. It is to him that all the prophets bear this witness: that all who believe in Jesus will have their sins forgiven through his name.’" (cf. Acts 10).
"You must know how even a small amount of yeast is enough to leaven all the dough..." (cf. 1 Cor 5).
"Death with life contended: combat strangely ended! Life’s own Champion, slain, yet lives to reign." (Victimae Paschali Laudes Sequence).
"It was very early on the first day of the week and still dark, when Mary of Magdala came to the tomb. She saw that the stone had been moved away from the tomb and came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved. ‘They have taken the Lord out of the tomb’ she said ‘and we don’t know where they have put him.’ So Peter set out with the other disciple to go to the tomb... [They] saw and [they] believed. Till this moment they had failed to understand the teaching of scripture, that he must rise from the dead." (cf. Jn 20).
