This past Sunday was Easter. But when we rolled away the stone, things looked much the same. Many of us, it seems, remain hidden in our own tombs.
This Easter was unique. But perhaps we have more in common with that first Easter week than we realize. Let’s not forget that the disciples locked themselves away in fear, and it was the risen Christ that sought them out behind lock and key.
Let us make ourselves ready and available, then, to encounter Jesus in our homes, to welcome him into this moment of uncertainty and fear. To help, the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States prepared this brief digital retreat – “Shelter in Hope” – to follow their popular “Into the Cave” retreat.
