I love the images of new life and growth that come with spring and the nearing of Easter. The first reading is rich with contrast between darkness and light between death and life. The writer takes everyday images and experiences and highlights their impact on our own faith journey. As Easter approaches, our earth begins to thaw, the days begin to gain length with more light exposure and the world begins to awaken to a new life and a new year. I think in many ways spring is one of my favorite seasons. I love the blossoms on the trees and the awakening of the early flowers and the smell of the rain. Spring is a time in which the earth heals from a long or short winter. It is a time when nature give's birth to the next generation of inhabitants. Spring for me is a time for hope and I love that Easter is a key marker of this time. It is a time to renew or promise and commitment to God, so that we can better love and serve one and other.
Love
