Sermon Notes, Easter Vigil (Year C)

 Weirdness of the service –

Liturgies developed over thousands of years that we aim to delve into again – renewing each year – tapping deep into how they affect our spirits – regardless of how the world changes
Liturgy to meld earthly and heavenly – break down barriers

Darkness: 3 days of dark (divine) and diminish daylight (earthly)
Light: candle not enough to prevent dark but to remind us of hope

Light: not what we see, but that by which we see everything else (Richard Rohr)
Light of Christ: illuminating all
Means nothing is unseen / unworthy / unreachable / unlovable
As we rest in stillness, we rest in light
    We rest in hope
    We rest in peace
For we are touched by the light of Christ – TBTG!
