Triduum/Easter Schedule Continued
The theologian Jurgen Moltmann
states that our Christian faith
begins at the exact point whereatheists think it must end, in the
taste of nothingness, in emptiness,
in darkness.
Jesus entered our world preaching
faith, love, and forgiveness but the
world didn't accept that. Instead it
crucified Him and, in that
crucifixion, seemingly shamed His
message. On the cross Jesus istaunted: If you are the son of
God, come down from there! If
your message is true, let God
verify that right now. If you're
Gods chosen, prove it! Act now!"
And what was God's response to
those taunts? Nothing no
defense, no apologia, no
commentary, just silence. Jesus
died in silence, inside God'ssilence and inside the world's
incomprehension.
We can, even as believers, be
scandalized by that silence. When
sin and sorrow and sadness seem
to triumph the painful questions
rise up: Where is the resurrection
in all of this? Why is God
seemingly so inactive?

Gods Vindication An Easter ReflectionBy Father Francis Cotter, OFM
8/2/2019 April Newsletter from Mission San Luis Rey Parish
3/4
Reflection (cont.)
God, as revealed in the death and resurrection of Jesus,
doesn't meet our expectations even as He infinitely
exceeds them. God's answer is always in the resurrection
- in the resurrection of Jesus and in the perennial
resurrection of goodness within life itself.
Ghandi wrote: "When I despair, I remember that allthrough history, the way of truth and love has always
won. There have been murderers and tyrants, and for a
time they seem invincible. But in the end they always fall.
Think of it always."
We can live in faith, love, forgiveness, justice, and
fidelity in spite of everything that suggests that they aren't
true. God vindicated Jesus and will vindicate us if we
remain faithful as Jesus did.
However part of what's revealed here is that we need agreat patience, a patience called hope. God's day will
come, but God, it seems, is not in any hurry. Good and
truth will always triumph, but this triumph must be
waited. Eventually, as Ghandi says, always, without a
single exception, good triumphs.
The resurrection works.
May the gift of Easter faith be revived in us.
