Since the Catholic Chronicle is published only monthly, today’s edition looks forward to Easter even though we are still in the midst of Lent. There is something for our reflection that straddles Lent and Easter very well, and that is the Feast of Divine Mercy.

If each of us were asked to choose a gospel parable that best describes the age in which we live, there would no doubt be as many answers among us as there are parables. In the wisdom of God, timeless truths are reflected in a diversity of parables, so that until the end of time every human person will be capable of finding “a pearl of great price” that opens his or her mind and heart to the unity and fullness of the Gospel. |

One in The Body of Christ, The Word Made Flesh |

To all of you and to your loved ones I would like to extend a Blessed Christmas, a Christmas centered on the person of Jesus Christ. He came into this world to show us how to live, so that we might find our way to God, and therefore our way to happiness both in this world and the world to come. And may Mary his Mother watch over each of you, with the same maternal care she showed for him from the moment of his conception, at his birth, and throughout his life on this earth. |

For those of us Christians who live in the northern hemisphere, the meaning of Easter is reflected in nature. After a dark, cold and often dreary winter, Easter comes in spring. The earth is about to be garlanded with new life, the song of birds, balmy breezes and lengthening daylight. Jesus used an agricultural image that evokes the cycle of the seasons: “Unless the grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat. But if it dies it bears much fruit” (Jn 12:24). |
