The previous blog was written 18-March-2020. This is written
on the 20-March-2020. When it was
announced that the parish, communal, celebration of The Easter-Paschal Mystery
was not going to be celebrated. This is a radical move to deal with the radical
nature of today’s great challenges. That
celebration was plan "A." When
plan "A" does not work then we go to plan "B." I see your personal celebrations as plan "B."
The Easter-Paschal Mystery being
planned, and celebrated by and with the "little church of the home." It is not going to be celebrated by the
gathering of the whole community, but the gathering of that same community
within the basic cell of Mother Church, the individual families. The individual family units as individual, or
the gathering of less than ten of those who have a desire to make the
celebration this Easter a journey that personal and particular. When we are in
the personal and particular we are dealing with reality. In reality it is both hidden and revealed
Reality itself. This Reality’s essence was revealed in the life and ministry of
Jesus, Who became The Christ. His story as written in the Gospel stories is to
be seen as our story today(O’Shea). How
terrifying, awe-full, wonder-full and exciting this 2020 journey will be as we
begin to discover anew our personal, and communal daily, moment to moment, encounters
with, The Jesus of the Gospels, Who is now The Risen Christ dwelling in the
depths of each person, not the chosen few. So let's get to work. "we are
burning daylight"(John Wayne).
