Easter is God’s invitation to see with the eyes of faith. Christ is asking us to believe what he told us: “I will seem to go away sometimes, but I will come back.” The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us that faith is a virtue infused by God into our souls to make us capable of living as his children and meriting eternal life… By faith, we freely commit our entire selves to God. So faith changes the way we see the world. God is present in every moment, and at every moment we can freely commit ourselves to him. He’s trying to help us see something of his presence in all the individual events of our lives. Easter is a call to see with renewed eyes of faith.
