SUMMARY:Easter Sunday
DESCRIPTION:He is Risen1\nFrom the writings of Thomas Merton \nThe risen life is not easy; it is also a dying life. The presence of the Resurrection in our lives means the presence of the Cross\, for we do not rise with Christ unless we also first die with him. It is by the Cross that we enter the dynamism of creative transformation\, the dynamism of resurrection and renewal\, the dynamism of love. The teaching of St. Paul is centered entirely on the Resurrection. How many Christians really understand what St. Paul is talking about when he tells us that we have “died to the Law” in order to rise with Christ? How many Christians dare to believe that whoever is risen with Christ enjoys the liberty of the sons and daughters of God and is not bound by the restrictions and taboos of human prejudice? \nTo be risen with Christ means not only that one has a choice and that one may live by a higher law – the law of grace and love – but that one must do so. The first obligation of the Christian is to maintain their freedom from all superstitions\, all blind taboos and religious formalities\, indeed from all empty forms of legalism. Read the Epistle to the Galatians again sometime. Read it in the light of the Church’s summons to complete renewal. \nThe Christian must have the courage to follow Christ. The Christian who is risen in Christ must dare to be like Christ: one must dare to follow conscience even in unpopular causes. One must\, if necessary\, be able to disagree with the majority and make decisions one knows to be according to the Gospel and teaching of Christ\, even when others do not understand why the person is acting this way. \n“The followers of Christ are called by God not according to their accomplishments\, but according to God’s own purpose and grace.” This statement from the Constitution on the Church of Vatican II effectively disposes of a Christian inferiority complex which makes people think that because they never have amounted to anything in the eyes of others\, they can never amount to anything in the eyes of God. Here again we see another aspect of St. Paul’s teaching on freedom. Too many Christians are not free because they submit to the domination of other people’s ideas. They submit passively to the opinions of the crowd. For self-protection they hide in the crowd\, and run along with the crowd – even when it turns into a lynch mob. They are afraid of the aloneness\, the moral nakedness\, which they feel apart from the crowd. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut the Christian in whom Christ is risen dares to think and act differently from the crowd. He has ideas of his own\, not because he is arrogant\, but because he has the humility to stand alone and pay attention to the purpose and the grace of God\, which are often quite contrary to the purposes and the plans of an established human power structure. If we have risen with Christ then we must dare to stand by him in the loneliness of his Passion\, when the entire establishment\, both religious and civil\, turned against him as a modern state would turn against a dangerous radical. In fact\, there were “dangerous radicals” among the Apostles. If we study the trial and execution of Jesus we find that he was condemned on the charge that he was a revolutionary\, a subversive radical\, fighting for the overthrow of legitimate government. This was not true in the political sense. Jesus stood entirely outside of all Jewish politics\, because his Kingdom was not of this world. And yet he was a “freedom fighter” in a different way. His death and resurrection were the culminating battle in his fight to liberate us from all forms of tyranny\, all forms of domination by anything or anyone except the Spirit\, the Law of Love\, the “purpose and grace” of God. \n\n\n1He is Risen.
