Entering Into The Mystery

Pope Francis invites us to enter the tomb with Mary Magdalene, Peter and John.  What do we find?  A mystery.  So, let us enter it:  To enter into the mystery means the ability to wonder, to contemplate; the ability to listen to the silence and to hear the tiny whisper amid great silence by which God speaks to us. (cf. 1 Kgs 19:12).
To enter into the mystery demands that we not be afraid of reality: that we not be locked into ourselves, that we not flee from what we fail to understand, that we not close our eyes to problems or deny them, that we not dismiss our questions.
To enter into the mystery means going beyond our own comfort zone, beyond the laziness and indifference which holds us back.
To enter into the mystery we need humility, to come down off our pedestal, to recognize who we are and not take ourselves too seriously. 
To enter into the mystery we need the lowliness that his powerless, the renunciation of our powerlessness, of our idols...in a word, we need to adore. Without adoration , we cannot enter into the mystery.--Pope Francis
As we renew our baptismal promises, let us add these things and work to integrate them into our lives during the Easter Season.
