Quote of the Week He who believes in me will live, even though he dies Qyamta Easter Sunday Reading 27 March 2016 1st Reading / ISAIAH 60: 1-7 A reading from the Book of Isaiah Barichmar Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. “Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the arm. Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come. Herds of camels will cover your land, young camels of Midian and Ephah. And all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and incense and proclaiming the praise of the LORD. All Kedar’s flocks will be gathered to you, the rams of Nebaioth will serve you; they will be accepted as offerings on my altar, and I will adorn my glorious temple This is the Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God 2nd Reading / Romans 5: 20-6: 23 A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans: Barekhmar The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin– because anyone who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. The grace and peace be with you all brothers. Amen. Gospel Reading/ JOHN 20: 1-18 Priest: A reading from the Holy Gospel according to JOHN Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus’ head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) Then the disciples went back to their homes, but Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. “Woman,” he said, “why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (Which means Teacher)? Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, `I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ “Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.

Déan machnamh ar an gCúrsa Spioradálta Is féidir dá réir sin an breathnú ar éadan Chríost a shamhlú nuair a leagas sé súil ortsa - Tá cúpla moladh ag Iognáid Loyola in Cleachtaí Spioradálta le ham guí a thúsú. Tá ceann amháín acu sách simplí, ach seans go mbraithfidh tú aisteach é ar dtús. ‘Cuimhnigh ar an gcaoi a mbreathnaíonn an Tiarna ort’, deir sé. Céard é do bharúil den chuireadh seo nuair a airíos tú ar dtús é? - Tá cúpla áit sna Soiscéil a ndeirtear linn gur bhreathnaigh Íosa go grinn ar dhaoine ar nós a bheadh sé ag iarraidh iad a léamh nó a thomhas. Mar sin féin is le trua agus ní hea le teann géar-bhreithiúnais a bhreathnaíos sé orthu i gcónaí. Seans gur cúnamh duit an méid sin lena raibh i gceist ag Iognáid a thuiscint. Caith tamall anois ag smaoineamh ar an gcaoi a mbreathnaíonn Dia ortsa. - Is éard é Íosa Dia ina dhuine agus éadan daonna air. Is féidir dá réir sin an breathnú ar éadan Chríost a shamhlú nuair a leagas sé súil ortsa. Cén cur síos a dhéanfá ar an mbreathnú sin do chara leat a chuirfeadh ceist ort ina thaobh? - Lig ceada d’Íosa breathnú ort ar an gcaoi sin agus tú ag éisteacht le Soiscéal Eoin: Scriptúir Agus an chéad lá den tseachtain tháinig Máire Mhaigdiléana go moch, agus an dorchadas fós ann, chun an tuama agus chonaic sí an líog aistrithe ón tuama. Rith sí ansin agus tháinig sí go dtí Síomón Peadar agus go dtí an deisceabal úd eile ab ionúin le Íosa. “Thóg siad an Tiarna as an tuama,” ar sí leo, “agus níl a fhios againn cár chuir siad é.” Amach le Peadar agus leis an deisceabal eile ansin agus chuaigh siad chun an tuama. Chrom siad a mbeirt ar rith in éineacht agus rith an deisceabal eile níos luaithe ná Peadar agus is é is túisce a tháinig go dtí an tuama. Nuair a chrom sé síos chonaic sé na línéadaí ina luí ansiúd, ach ní dheachaigh sé isteach. Ansin tháinig Síomón Peadar ina dhiaidh agus chuaigh sé isteach sa tuama, agus chonaic sé na línéadaí agus an brat a bhí ar a cheann – ní i dteannta na línéadaí a bhí sé, ach fillte in aon áit amháin leis féin. Ansin an deisceabal eile, a tháinig ar dtús chun an tuama, chuaigh sé isteach agus chonaic agus chreid sé. Óir níor thuig siad go fóill an scrioptúr nárbh fholáir é a aiséirí ó mhairbh. Ansin d’imigh na deisceabail abhaile arís. Agus bhí Máire ina seasamh lasmuigh in aice an tuama agus í ag gol. Sa ghol di chrom sí síos agus d’fhéach isteach sa tuama, agus chonaic an dá aingeal in éidí geala ina suí mar ar luigh corp Íosa, aingeal acu ag an gceann agus an t-aingeal eile ag na cosa. “Cén fáth a bhfuil tú ag gol, a bhean,” ar siad léi. “Mar gur thóg siad mo Thiarna,” ar sí leo, “agus nach eol dom cár chuir siad é.” Arna rá sin di, d’iompaigh sí thart agus chonaic sí Íosa ina sheasamh ansiúd ach nár aithin sí gurbh é Íosa é. Dúirt Íosa léi: “A bhean, cén fáth a bhfuil tú ag gol? Cé atá uait?” Mheas sí gurbh é an garraíodóir é agus dúirt leis: “A dhuine uasail, más tusa a thóg é, inis dom cár chuir tú é agus tabharfaidh mé liom é.” “A Mháire,” arsa Íosa léi. D’iompaigh sise agus dúirt as Eabhrais: “Rabúnaí,” is é sin le rá: “A Mháistir!” “Scaoil liom!” arsa Íosa léi, “óir ní dheachaigh mé suas chun an Athar fós; ach imigh chun mo bhráithre agus abair leo: ‘Táim ag dul suas chun m’Atharsa agus chun bhur nAtharsa, chun mo Dhé-se agus chun bhur nDé-se.’” Tháinig Máire Mhaigdiléana leis an scéala do na deisceabail: “Chonaic mé an Tiarna,” agus go ndúirt sé na nithe sin léi. Samhlaigh an radharc Nuair a bhaineas sí an tuama amach, is é an chaoi a bhfuil an chloch bogtha - Samhlaigh an radharc sin duit féin. Deireadh na hoíche, dorcha i gcónaí, agus an dá luas a thagas deireadh leis an tSabóid, téann Máire Mhaigdiléana faoi dhéin thuama Íosa, an té is áil léi. An chaoi ar airigh sí agus í ag gabháil amach sa dorchadas, an bhfuil tú in ann é a shamhlú duit féin? - Ní móide gur chodail sí ró-mhaith. Seans gur meabhraíodh focail Laoi na Laoithe di: ‘Ar mo leaba dom i gcoim oíche a loirg mé grá m’anama, a loirg mé agus ní bhfuair.’ - Is mian léi a chorp a ungadh. Ach cé a bhogfas an chloch? Nuair a bhaineas sí an tuama amach, is é an chaoi a bhfuil an chloch bogtha! Tá corp Íosa ar iarraidh? Ghoid duine éigin corp an té ab áil léi! Tá an tuama folamh, chomh folamh lena croí. Thug sí do na boinn ansin sí agus tháinig sí go dtí Síomón Peadar agus go dtí an deisceabal úd eile ab ionúin le Íosa agus í ag béiceach: “Thóg siad an Tiarna as an tuama,” ar sí leo, “agus níl a fhios againn cár chuir siad é.” Baineann Peadar agus an deisceabal eile as go dtí an tuama. Tá an chuma ar an scéal go bhfuil gach uile dhuine ag rith sa maidneachan. Ag rith le teann faitís? Ag rith le teann mearbhaill? Ag rith mar gheall air go bhfuil Íosa ar iarraidh? Cá bhfuil Íosa? Teagmhaigh leis an Tiarna Cén chaoi a n-aithníonn tú an Tiarna a bheith i láthair i do shaol? - ‘Agus bhí Máire ina seasamh lasmuigh in aice an tuama agus í ag gol.’ Ní thaobhaíonn na deisceabail Máire agus í go cráite. Ní thuigeann siad fáth a caointe. Ní bhaineann siad meabhair ar bith as deora mná. Tá sé thar a n-acmhainn í a thuiscint agus dá réir sin bailíonn siad leo abhaile. Agus í ag caoineadh, cromann Máire agus breathnaíonn isteach sa tuama. Is léir di dhá aingeal ina suí san áit a raibh corp Íosa ina luí. ‘Cén fáth a bhfuil tú ag gol, a bhean’, ar siad. ‘Mar gur thóg siad mo Thiarna,’ ar sí leo,’“agus nach eol dom cár chuir siad é.’ Tá sí chomh cinnte sin de go bhfuil Íosa básaithe nach bhfuil ar a cumas meabhair a bhaint as an dá aingeal seo. Iompaíonn sí timpeall ansin agus feiceann sí Íosa ina sheasamh ann, ach ní thuigeann sí gurb é Íosa atá ann. - Tá macalla chéad fhocail Íosa i Soiscéal Eoin sa méid a deir Íosa le Máire: ‘Cé atá uait?’ Céard é do fhreagra-sa? - ‘A Mháire’, deir Íosa os íseal. Glaonn sé uirthi ina hainm, ise atá ar a mine géire ag cuartú a choirp mhairbh. Is é Íosa a aimsíos ise. Is caidreamh ar leith a caidreamh seisean léi-se agus is caidreamh ar leith a caidreamh sise leis-sean. Sin é an t-údar go n-aithníonn sí é nuair a ghlaos sé uirthi ina hainm. Cén t-ainm a bhaisteas an Tiarna ort-sa? Cén chaoi a n-aithníonn tú é a bheith i láthair i do shaol? Teagmhaigh leis an Tiarna Roinn do chuid smaointe agus mothúchán leis an Tiarna - Tá macalla fhocail Íseáia (43:1-4) le braith ar Íosa ag glaoch ar Mháire ina hainm: ‘Ná bíodh eagla ort, óir tá tú fuascailte agam; ghlaoigh mé ort i d’ainm, agus is liomsa thú…is luachmhar thú i mo shúile, is mór liom thú agus is mór é mo chion ort.’ Aimsíonn Máire caidreamh nua le hÍosa. Tá sé fánach aici féachaint lena shealbhú nó le greim a choinneáil air, nó a cheapadh gurb ise amháin is áil leis. Caithfidh sí scaoileadh leis an am atá caite agus maireachtáil san am i láthair agus í i gcaidreamh nua inmheánach le hÍosa aiséirithe. An bhfuil tusa ag iarraidh greim a choinneáil ar íomhá shean-chaite d’Íosa nó ar bhealach sean-chaite le caidreamh a bheith agat leis? An bhfuair tú cuireadh ó Íosa aiséirithe caidreamh níos doimhne a chothú leis le linn an chúrsa spioradálta seo? - ‘A Mháistir’, deir Máire. Triomaíonn a cuid deor agus caitheann í féin ag cosa Íosa agus beireann greim air. ‘Scaoil liom!’ arsa Íosa léi, ‘óir ní dheachaigh mé suas chun an Athar fós; ach imigh chun mo bhráithre agus abair leo: “Táim ag dul suas chun m’Atharsa agus chun bhur nAtharsa, chun mo Dhé-se agus chun bhur nDé-se.”’ Tabhair faoi deara gur ‘bráithre’ agus ‘siúracha’ agus ní hea ‘deisceabail’ ná ‘cairde’ a bhaisteas Íosa ar a lucht leanúna! Is é a Athair seisean a n-Athair siadsan; is é a Dhia seisean, a nDia siadsan, ár nDia muidne. An bhfuil tusa in ann smaoineamh ar Íosa ar an mbealach seo mar dheartháir. Cén chaoi n-airíonn tú dá réir sin? - Tá an umhlaíocht de dhlúth is d’inneach i scéal an aiséirí. Ní hamhlaidh atá Íosa buach ag iarraidh céim síos a thabhairt dóibh siúd a thug céim síos dó féin. Taispeánann sé é féin do Mháire Mhaigdiléana, an té is áil leis, an té ar maitheadh di, ar an uaigneas i ngarraí. Ní go cumhachtach a nochtas sé ach le grá cneasta. Maidin lae nua agus domhain nua atá ann. Sheol sé amach sa saol mór í. Ní furasta imeacht ón gcaidreamh dlúth le hÍosa isteach i bpobal mór a bhfuil a oiread riachtanas ann agus a oiread eile a bhfuiltear ag súil leis. An mar sin a bhraitheas tusa anois? An mbraitheann tú go bhfuil tú do do sheoladh amach ag deireadh an chúrsa spioradálta seo? Roinn do chuid smaointe agus mothúchán leis an Tiarna.

Iarr ar Dhia rud ar bith a bhfuil call agat leis, dar leat, san am atá díreach romhat. - Is éard dúirt Máistir Eckhart misteach meánaoiseach: mura ndéarfaimis de phaidir i gcaitheamh ár saoil ach ‘go raibh maith agat’ go mba leor sin. Caith seal ag gabháil buíochais le Dia as creideamh agus fianaise mhná na Páise agus caith seal ag gabháil buíochais leis an Tiarna Aiséirithe, leo siúd a ghuigh in éineacht leat agus ar do shon le linn an chúrsa spioradálta Carghais seo.
