We continue to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ because His Risen Presence abides with us in the Spirit, Who enables us to be in tune with God's Presence, so that we always know that God has not left us orphans. And we proclaim what Christ has done, and, as St. Peter writes, we may "sanctify Christ as Lord in our hearts" as we live in hope and testify to it with reverence and gentleness, thus showing how God is active in us.
Furthermore, we truly experience God's love when we obey His commandments, which keep us in tune with God's life. It is the love we share in our earthly relationship that makes God real, especially as we celebrate Mothers' Day.
He further supports us by the Spirit He sends to be our Advocate, so that we know that as the Father and the Son are in each other, God is in us. (Truth is something I have in mind as I celebrate the 10th anniversary of my MLIS graduation in the Dominican University community.)
The Spirit is the great revelation of how God is alive in us, and we can live in joy, testifying to God's marvelous works. This joy truly comes from the Risen Christ, and it is our joy that has no end.
