"(With Easter we see) the long war brought to an end, and reconciliation made between God and our nature, the devil brought to shame, demons in flight, death destroyed, Paradise opened, the curse blotted out, sin put out of the way, error driven off, truth returning, the word of godliness everywhere sown, and flourishing in its growth." (John Chrysostom, Homily 1, Commentary on St. Matthew) How appreciative are we for what Jesus has done for us through his death and resurrection? How do we show this appreciation in concrete ways? Easter is not just a day but a way of life. We are a new creation, called to live more consciously the life of Christ.
