Sundown ends the Paschal season
Tomorrow is the day of Ascension - the leavetaking of Great and Holy Pascha. The living dance of the church calender engages us all into a new, and yet ancient movement. In keeping with our ancient Jewish roots, the Church identifies sundown as the beginning of the following day. Therefore as I watch the sun moving toward the horizon I find myself reflecting on what the Paschal dance has taught me this year.
We learn very little through self-determination, yet gain tremendous insight into LIFE through self-denial.
Love and laziness cannot co-exist.
And so, for the last time this year: "Christ is Risen!"
At sundown:
"Christ is in our Midst!"
"He is, and ever shall be!"
