Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24

Easter - Year A

Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24

I suffered greatly, yet I live.
I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of life.

And here we find ourselves—between.

And here we find ourselves—making meaning.

And here we find ourselves. And find. And find.

This is a day of life. We rejoice and are glad. Really? Rejoicing and glad? OK, then. Let’s see your version of rejoicing, your variant on gladness. Don’t be afraid, don’t hold back, don’t fizzle out with mere muttering.
