Today: There is a beautiful movie called “Whistle Down the Wind”. A group of young children are playing in a hayshed where they come across a tramp sleeping in the hay. With his beard and long hair, they are convinced that he is Jesus. One of the children runs off, collects her kitten, which is sick, and brings it to Jesus, and asked him to heal it. The kitten dies, and the children are really puzzled why Jesus let the kitten die. This leads them to other questions, such as why God lets anything or anyone die. They decide to go down to the Priest’s house to ask the parish priest. The priest is having his tea when the children walk in. They asked their question as to why God lets people die. The priest proceeded with long definitions about life, death, mystery, etc., with God-words and theological jargon. Convinced that he has done a good job, he pours himself a cup of tea. There is a lovely scene as the children are leaving. One little lad pulls his sister by the sleeve, and whispers, “Sure he doesn’t know either, sure he doesn’t?”! If the priest had spoken to them of what had happened to Jesus and what that means for all of us now, perhaps the children would easily have got the simple message. Today, I invite you to recognise that the stone is rolled away from the tomb and that we are able now to come out into the Light of the Risen Lord. Happy Easter everyone.
