"They were scared," says the evangelist Mark. Should we be surprised? First witnesses of an event that will change the world. Easter means "way". Passage of God in our dead to free us and we meet. These passages are numerous in the history of salvation.
From initial chaos, let us remember, God brings life out. Creator, he invests in his holy creature. What surprises most about these stories is the stubbornness of God to believe in humanity, despite its weaknesses, betrayals, its indifference.
Also, the entire liturgy of tonight is full of symbols that remind us of these passages. We started in the dark, to find ourselves in the light. We started in silence, the better to hear the Word. And most importantly, we saw the body torn on the cross and buried Friday, we receive in our, but now the body of the Risen Christ, the bread of eternal life.
We already know that. We believe in it. Yet we may still be afraid. We fear for the future of our Church, we are afraid of losing those we love, fear of not being in height, fear of not being liked, fear of being judged. And like Mary Magdalene, we are concerned ... silently
Even today, God can save us! Whoever created the universe from nothing and one who has fed his people and then led into the desert and one who has spoken to humanity through the voice of the prophets who shared our humanity and rose his only Son from the dead, can make us free. Free to love.
