This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only
Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God,
but that God loved us ... [1 John 4:9-10]
In our increasingly troubled and fractured world,
We cannot claim to have the answer to every question,
The solution to every problem,
Or promise that life can remain unaffected.
The cross of Easter
Embraces the worst of human realities,
Yet timelessly declares,
That even when God's very self
Appears defeated and destroyed,
God's love can never be extinguished,
And love can overcome every human circumstance
