Easter: Love Has Come

Love came in the announcement from the angel.

Love came in the stable birth.

Love came in the preaching of good news and repentance.

Love came in the healings and miracles.

Love came in a meal shared and gift of service shown.

Love came in the depth of self-giving.

Love came on the cross, every ounce poured out.

Love came in the darkness of the tomb.

Love came on a Sunday morning

with resurrected new life conquering death.

 

Love met weeping Mary Magdalen restoring her hope.

Love met disheartened Peter restoring his hope.

Love met the saddened Emmaus Disciples restoring their hope.

Love met doubting Thomas restoring his hope.

Love meets us restoring our hope,

calling us to new life,

awakening our true faith,

and enlivening our expanding love.

 

Alleluia is our song of love

for Love has come

conquering death forever

and bringing us life eternal!

 

Alleluia! Christ is Risen!
