• Death? I do NOT see Him ~ Is He a MEMORY? ~ a Part of HISTORY?
• What’s so TRIUMPHANT?
• What is the REAL QUESTION?
• What is it you are looking for?
JOY ~ UNION ~ something BEYOND ………what YOU SEE! Yes ~ DEATH is a
POWER THAT LEADS ~ to what is
THE MYSTERY ~
Of WHAT CHRIST has ACCOMPLISHED!
And it is TRIUMPHANT ~
Especially WHEN YOU ARE IN THE TRIUMPH!
EASTERMONDAY
• Mt 28:8-15 ~ FEARFULyet Overjoyed ! ? ! ? !
• What is it ~Are you FEARFUL? Why? ~ AWESTRUCK ~
• Has a MYSTERY~ been SHOWN TOYOU?
• Something UNEXPLAINABLE ~ No ~ DoYou NEED SOMETHING CLEARER? ~ No ~
• Then IT IS ~ Explainable? ~YES! ~ EXPLAIN IT!
• SOMEONE WHO IS DEAD ~ like I mean DEAD! WAS ~
• TALKING! I mean actually TALKING ~ andAPROACHEDUS! LIKEAMAN ~ALIVE!
• and what did He SAY?
• “DO NOTBEAFRAID” ~ I heard Him ~ I saw Him ~ the same MAN who was hanging on that CROSS!
• I did HIM HOMAGE! ~ ALLOF US DID! ~ I’M NOTTHE ONLYONE who saw HIM! WE DID!
• The JOY! ~ JUMP~ JOY! ~ ???? Fearful ~ of JOY?
• NO ~ Good ~ Did He seem DEAD like a zombie talking with hands extended like “boogabooga”?
• Ha ha Ha ha ~ NO ~ NO ~ NO! ~ Dead Man walking? ~ NO! ~ALIVE! Like you, BUTALIVE!
• HE ISALIVE! YES ~ALIVE ~ NOT DEAD ~ALIVE! ~ THE JOY!
EASTER TUESDAY
• Jn 20:11-18 Why ~ DOES ONE WEEP?
• The GRIEF of a LOSS ~ causes a RESPONSE! A response from the VERY PERSON
~ of our very being as a PERSON with a HEART!
• A HEART ~ and a SOUL ~ that was CREATED ~ TO LOVE!
• LOVE ~ who was CRUCIFIED ~ and DEAD!
• And NO LONGER IN THE TOMB ~ missing and GONE!
• WEEPING ~
• And I am SEEKING HIM!
• Even while HE IS DEAD! And then ~
• THE ONE ~ I SEEK ~ is NO LONGER DEAD! And I RECOGNIZE ~ the ONE!
• THE ONE ~ I SEEK!
• And I am NO LONGER WEEPING ~ and I REALIZE ~ before my VERY EYES!
• THE ONE ~ I SEEK!
• ~ IS ALIVE ~ ALIVE ~ I SAY ~ALIVE!
EASTER WEDNESDAY
• Lk 24:13-35 ~ EYES ~ what do they SEE?
• Walking AWAY FROM JERUSALEM ~ AWAY from the Crucifixion ~ their HEARTS
reminiscing ~ AWAY from what they left behind! Or did they REALLY LEAVE IT!
• Do we ever REALLY LEAVE IT? It was only SEVEN MILES AWAY! A MOMENT AWAY!
• No MOMENT in LIFE ~ is EVER TRULY AWAY! For CHRIST WALKS ~ and
• Is NEVER AWAY! And many TIMES WHILE WE ARE AWAY ~ we DO NOT RECOGNIZE ~ HE IS
NEVER AWAY! WE do NOT SEE ~ He is
• And ALWAYS WILL!
• SO WHAT IS IT ~ that their EYES ~ SEE?
• What we WANT TO SEE or what CHRIST SEES? We SEE what we ought ~ or DO WE SEE
BECAUSE WE SEE!
• We WANTED TO SEE ~ and thought WE DID! And then HE WAS CRUCIFIED!
• I DON’T SEE ~ and DON’T WANT TO SEE! So AWAY ~ I say ~ AWAY from Jerusalem.
• FOOLISHNESS! SEE! The FORTOLD MYSTERY! SEE!
• NO impression and NO SIGN of what IS AWAY! For HE IS URGED TO STAY! And NEVER AWAY!
And HEARTS BURNING
He is BROKEN ~ AGAIN! And AGAIN! At EVERY Paschal MYSTERY! Again ~
And NOW ~ Away is NEVER AWAY~ for HE STAYS ~ and NOW ~ WE SEE!
EASTER THURSDAY
• Lk 24:35-48 Why ~
• CHRIST APPEARS ~
• And HE ASKS ~ WHY?
• Why ~ are you troubled ~ WHY ~ are your hearts questioning!
• SEE!
• My Hands ~ EAT! ~ TOUCH! ~ KNOW!
• Why ~
• THERE IS ~
• An ANSWER ~ and I ASK ~ WHY
• WHAT I SPOKE and HAVE WRITTEN ~ is
• And HAS ~
• FULFILLED what you are asking ~ in your questions and HEARTS! The questions have
ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED!
• And So I ASK YOU ~
• WHY?
EASTER FRIDAY
• Jn 21:1-14 NOTHING ~ NO!
• CHRIST appears AGAIN ~
• HE ASKS ANOTHER QUESTION ~
• Is there anything there? I SAY THERE!
• We have BEEN FISHING ALL NIGHT ~ NOTHING! NOTHING is there ~ NOTHING!
Cast it on the RIGHT! And LISTEN THIS TIME! For on the LEFT there is NOTHING!
• For the RIGHT ~ is MUCH DEEPER!
• And the FISH ~ STAY! And STAY THEY DO! For they ARE THERE! And LARGE I
SAY! And the NET is NOT TORN ~ therefore they STAY! And Never NEVER SWIM
AWAY! More than you KNOW, and KNOW THEY KNOW! For DEEP is CALLING ON
DEEP and MORE is CALLING ON MORE! For the DAWN is ARISING ~
• And IT IS THE LORD!
EASTER SATURDAY
• Mk 16:9-15 Dare ~ YOU ~ to BELIEVE! Believe what?
• I mean what is there TO BELIEVE ~
• ???????
• The QUESTION ~ Believe what?
• A Man who was DEAD ~ whom we are CRYING OVER ~ and WEEPING ? Is said to be
ALIVE!
• So I am TOLD ~ and TOLD AGAIN ~ and STILL ~ am I TO BELIEVE ? Believe what?
• And the FORM ~ of His APPEARANCE ~ is TOLD TO BE ANOTHER ~ and so I ASK ~
• Am I TO BELIEVE ~ what I AM told ~ WHY SHOULD I ? What does it do, IF I DO ~
BELIEVE ~
I WILL and will NOT ~ be rebuked ~ as being HARDENED! And REBUKED BY
OUR DIVINE SAVIOR ~ is NOT what I mean when I BELIEVE ~ for when I
BELIEVE ~
MY HEART ~ and HIS HEART ~ are ONE! And NO REBUKE IS NECESSARY!
DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY
• Jn 20:19-31 RETAINED ~ an ACT of MERCY
• The SINS ~ of Many ~ ARE ONE ~ and ALL ~ and WILL ~ be forgiven by THOSE WHO
BELIEVE ~
• Retained IT WILL ~ by the HAND ~ of PRIEST ~ CHRIST ~ AND ONE! ONE ~ who BELIEVES!
• I BELIEVE ~ I believe ~ YES, LORD ~ BELIEVE I DO ~
• The HANDS ~ I have NOT TOUCHED ~ and the SIDE ~ I have NOT SEEN ~ is the SIDE ~ from
WHICH ~
• BLOOD AND WATER ~
• Has GUSHED FORTH for LOVE OF ME ~ and SINS are MANY ~ and ONE ~ in the MERCY
~ that is given ~ ONLY ~ TO ONE ~
• Who BELIEVES!
• Yes, LORD, I ~ BELIEVE ~
• NOT ~
• Because I SEE ~ BUT BECAUSE I BELIEVE AND SEE!
