Easter
Last year, I published a link to a piece by Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor in London's THE DAILY TELEGRAPH.On this Easter Sunday, it is worth re-sharing.
A portion of it reads:
"Without the Resurrection, human society would not have known the one, singular, astonishing thing that underpins the best of our laws and our traditions: that God gave himself to the world in Jesus Christ, was rejected by the world, and became a victim. Without the Resurrection, Jesus would have remained an unknown victim - trampled on, and forgotten; and human society would be none the wiser. But God raised Jesus up, demonstrated His power over death, and gave those who witnessed it the knowledge that the bloodied victim abandoned on Golgotha was, after all, His beloved son."
