Easter Glory Fills the Sky
The chameleon belongs to the classification Old World Lizards, which has over 200 species. It’s fascinating to see the chameleon change its skin colour according to habitat. In the green garden it turns its skin colours to green and or yellow/dark blue. If a chameleon is on sandy ground its skin colour turns to sandy. Change of colour is a crucial adaptation for the chameleon. Easter is very important time for the world and Christians in particular. At Easter the glory of God fills the Earth. The distorted nature of man is restored to its glorious nature. The unfortunate disobedience in the Garden of Eden is restored by the painful obedience of Christ at Gethsemane and on the Cross. The Great Alleluia on Easter night echoes that man lives no longer to die because Christ has risen from the dead. As James Quinn echoes it in song: Easter Glory fills the sky, Alleluia; Christ now lives, no more to die, Alleluia. Darkness has been put to flight, Alleluia; By the living Lord of Light,
Alleluia. Jesus is our brother and Lord. Man is the beneficiary of his coming back to life. I can’t wait to celebrate this year’s Easter. The invitation to everyone this year by the Bishop Peter Doyle of Northampton Diocese, which I want to extend to everyone, is that everyone should wake up and pray to God. I also invite everyone to find some time to rest and rejoice because our life on earth is but the first bus stop. Like a chameleon we can turn ourselves to beautiful colours of love. Father Jude Iroh PP, St Anne’s RC Church
