Seeking
Easter Sunday is a day all about seeking. The
early Christian communities gathered around the
Apostles, seeking more about the life and ministry of the
Lord Jesus. Saint Paul told the baptized Colossians to
“seek what is above.” Mary of Magdala went to the tomb,
seeking to find the Lord’s body so that she could anoint it.
We come to church on Easter Sunday seeking many
things. For some of us, this is a once‑a‑year journey,
when we seek connection with the foundations of the
Christian faith. For others, this day is the culmination of a
long journey of Lenten repentance. For the newly
baptized, this is the first day of a new life filled with
promise and expectation. Whatever it is that we seek, let
us be inspired by the disciple whom Jesus loved who,
when he saw the wrappings of cloth inside the empty
tomb, “saw and believed.”
