Easter 2019

MYSTERIES WE DON'T NEED TO SOLVE Over the past few days, we have been contemplating the limitations of our own mentalities – how we tend to think that everything is limited.  The resurrection, it seems to me, is the ultimate example of God’s abundance.  Nothing is impossible with God.  The rules simply do not obey.  In 1965, the Late Jewish Rabbi Abraham Heschel wrote, “As civilization advances, the sense of wonder declines.  I argue that this sense of wonder - which we most certainly best see in our children – is humanity’s most compelling trait.  It is the seed of innovation and progress; the stimulus of love and relationships; and it is what leads us here – to a place where we can encounter that magnanimity of God in a single piece of bread.
