MONDAY WITHIN THE OCTAVE OF EASTER: That the Church celebrates Easter, that today she suffers and weeps with her Head, then rises and exults with him, is the sign that the relation between Christ and the Church, between Christ and us, is quite different from that existing between any historic personages of different epochs, even between a master and his disciples. For the authors of the New Testament, even for the evangelists whose immediate purpose is to recount the earthly life of Jesus of Nazareth, this Christ can never be considered simply as a man whose life and death might inspire sentiments analogous to those awakened by, say, the life and death of a Socrates. If the apostles set out across the world to evangelize it, they did so primarily because the Holy Spirit had given them, after the Resurrection, the certitude expressed in these simple words, "Jesus is the Lord." To say Jesus is the Lord was to declare that he who had been known in the flesh was now known in the spirit; that this man, this holy child of God, was the corporal dwelling place of divinity; and that divinity, unimpeded, inundated his risen humanity, forever setting at defiance death and the devil.The good tidings, in their opinion, were that this Man God was also the Second Adam. Just as men had borne the likeness of the terrestrial Adam, so they were now called to resemble the heavenly Adam. Baptized in him, they would “put him on” and would know that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature. "I live, but it is now no longer I that live, but Christ lives in me," was the cry of the Church on the days following the Resurrection and Pentecost; such it has remained through the centuries.-- Fr.
