As I’m preaching at Mass this weekend I thought I would just offer my main point here. Whilst we are still very much in the Easter season it is important to remember that God’s love breaks through, literally, everything. The fullness of God’s love is, of course, revealed in Jesus and the fact that his body still retains the wounds of his crucifixion is crucial to our understanding of what it all means. God’s love breaks through the pain and suffering of the cross, the denial and betrayal of the disciples, the jeering and mockery of the crowd, the power of Rome and ultimately even death itself. This is the Good News of Easter, that ‘nothing can come between us and the love of God revealed in Christ Jesus Our Lord.’
