Easter Morning

Life has its dark and ambiguous moments.  What helps us understand and see God's resurrection at work?  What gives us confidence and hope?  In the resurrection account in Matthew's Gospel, what finally gives the first women calm and confidence is the presence of Jesus.  Throughout the Gospel, when Jesus reveals his presence, his peace calms the storms of those around him.  The good news of Easter is that the peaceful presence of Jesus Christ is ours today because he lives and is present for us.
