Jesus plants in our hearts the conviction that God is able to make everything work unto good, because even from the grave He brings life. He who rolled away the stone that sealed the entrance of the tomb can also remove the stones in our hearts…He did not abandon us. He visited us and entered into our situations of pain, anguish and death. His light dispelled the darkness of the tomb: Today He wants that light to penetrate even to the darkest corners of our lives. Today, as pilgrims in search of hope, we cling to you, Risen Jesus. We turn our backs on death, and open our hearts to you, for you are Life itself. Homily, Holy Saturday Easter Vigil, April 11, 2020
