Easter Sunday
Look Up
The women approached the tomb with heads lowered in defeat and grief. But then they looked up and it changed their lives. The barrier that they thought would be there was gone and what they discovered instead was life. Will we look up? Will we look up from our complacency, apathy, fear, and depression about “the way things are” and be filled with the promise of new life and hope yet again?
When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back. – Mark 16:4
Reflection: What are two small things I will continue to be “up to” after Easter?
Prayer
Ever-Living God,
I come with my head bent down sometimes,
Overwhelmed with Good Friday news.
Raise me up, lift up my eyes,
So that I might look up and see
The tenacity of life in the midst of death.
