There is a question in today's Gospel that may resonate with many of us. Jesus asked his disciples, "Why are you troubled?" We are obviously in different circumstances than the disciples, but how frequently are our hearts troubled? Do we recognize the presence of Jesus in our own lives?
Think back to the importance of a lighthouse many years ago before all of the GPS technology came into play. Navigating treacherous waters could be aided by the signal from a lighthouse. It provided necessary guidance. What, or more importantly, who guides you in your life's journey?
At the Easter Vigil the deacon raised the Paschal Candle and sang, "The Light of Christ." Then the light spread to everyone in the church. Are we allowing ourselves to be guided by the Light of Christ? Are we fully cooperating with God's grace?
I encourage you to continue to celebrate Easter well.
