The resurrection of Jesus Christ connects us to the beginning of everything and with the end of everything, says the Easter message from the Rt Rev Peter Collins, Bishop of East Anglia, in his Easter message.

The first reading from the sacred Scriptures at the Easter vigil takes us back to the dawn of time: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

We are enlightened regarding the origin of life in God. This begins our great reflection on the journey we take toward eternal life.

Our experience of Easter Day, our passage through the entirety of the Easter season, needs to be an engagement with the revelation that the resurrection of Jesus Christ connects us to the beginning of everything and with the end of everything.

The life and death of each and every one of us can only be fully understood by reference to Easter day, by reference to the risen Lord, for he is the alpha and the omega.

As the Easter sequence proclaims, “death with life contended: combat strangely ended! Life’s own champion, slain, yet lives to reign… that Christ is truly risen from the dead we know. Victorious king, thy mercy show.”

Full range of human complexities

As we contend with the sorrows and joys of life, we experience the full range of human complexities.

What our Catholic faith proclaims with full vigour on Easter Day is that Christ embraces each and every one of us when he embraced the cross of sacrifice and he embraces each and every one of us when he rose from the dead and escaped the confinement of the tomb.

In the full communion of our faith, we rejoice in our proclamation to the world that the risen Lord is the life, the light, the hope of the world.

As we bathe in the light and joy of Easter, let us reflect well upon the journey we have taken thus far and resolve to stand always in the company of the risen Lord.

With faith, hope and love we pray that our eyes will eagerly behold the risen Lord each day, that our ears will attentively listen to the risen Lord each day, that our hearts will generously respond to the risen Lord each day.

We stand not alone in the midst of the world, for we share our habitat with the entire human family.

On Easter Day we proclaim our solidarity with all who are suffering, near and far. We acknowledge that many of our brothers and sisters are afflicted by violence in all its forms.

There is growing anxiety regarding the inherent inequalities and uncertainties across the global social and economic order. The stability of our environment and climate is suffering degradation. The integrity of our moral identity and sense of responsibility is threatened by deepening fractures.

Answers will never be simplistic

On this Easter Day we proclaim that answers are available for the complex questions that face humanity. However, these answers will never be simplistic, nor will they emerge from merely materialistic sources.

We will need to apply our scientific knowledge to the full, but yet more is needed. It will be our spiritual understanding that will enable us to truly grasp the beginning and end of everything, to grasp the true significance of what it is to be a human being.

I rejoice in offering you my Easter greeting – the Lord is risen, alleluia, alleluia.
