Easter Sunday
Living the Resurrection
We have walked the labyrinth together.
Through Lent, we have:
set our intention
released what we were carrying
learned to walk more freely
rested at the heart of God
waited
and returned
Now we arrive at Easter.
But Easter is not the end of the journey. It is a beginning.
It is the moment when all that we have practiced—release, stillness, listening, and return—opens into something new:
resurrection.
Hope does not always arrive all at once. Sometimes it comes quietly. In small moments. In unexpected ways.
Before you watch this reflection, take a moment to pause:
Where have you seen even a glimpse of new life?
Where have you felt even a small stirring of hope?
Bring that awareness with you as you enter this Easter reflection.
Your Practice This Week
Noticing and Sharing the “Wow”
Easter invites us to do two simple, courageous things:
to notice hope—and to share it.
This week, pay attention to moments of new life around you:
A shift in your perspective
A moment of unexpected peace
A conversation that brings healing
A sense of possibility where there was none before
These may be small. They may be fleeting.
But they matter.
Frederick Buechner reminds us to look forward and say, “Wow.”
Not because everything is perfect, but because something new is always beginning.
And then, like the women at the empty tomb, take a risk:
Tell someone.
Share your story of hope—however simple it may be:
with a friend
with your community
with someone who needs to hear it
Hope grows when it is shared.
And if you are still waiting—still longing for that sense of resurrection—know this:
You are not alone.
You are still part of the story.
And you are always welcome here.
Christ is risen.
And new life is still unfolding.
