As we approach the Third Sunday of Easter tomorrow, it seems that Mother Nature is finally "getting it" and gives us greener grass, budding trees, spring flowers and warmer weather. Now we see and feel the "new life" of Easter around us. The Feast of Sts. Philip and James also reminds us that it is not simply a natural rebirth that we are celebrating, but one of the Spirit who moves us, as it moved them, to spread the word, preach the Gospel both in verbal testimony and in action. Philip asked Jesus to "show us the father" and received Jesus' curt question, "Have I not been with you this long and still you do not see that the Father and are one?" So too can we miss the obvious, that of knowing who Jesus is and being able to see his actions in our lives or working through others. Preaching and teaching are going on all around us and we are part of it too. May we open our eyes to see and our hearts to respond to the presence of the Word around us. Saints Philip and James, guide us through this Easter Season and beyond.
