“There are words addressed to our condition exactly, which, if we could really hear and understand, would be more salutary than the morning or spring to our lives.” – Thoreau
Do the gospel resurrection narratives offer such words—words we can offer hospitality to and give welcome within our souls? Who are we that we should be so addressed, called upon in this way? Rudolf Steiner, in his astounding series of Easter lectures, has given such words home-coming, and helped place us in a position to keep faith with them—words with enormous wingspan, words that name vast realities for us. How do we define the audience in us that the Easter Word addresses, and so creates?
As a “’Lazarus come forth’ builds itself like a radiance about every bud of spring” so too, where there is an Easter dawning in us, an “Eve come forth” can build itself like a radiance about every rib raftering our hearts! As the Earth sends forth her new mantle of green to meet the increasing force of the sun, how might we enable the spiritual sun and the renewed life of Earth alike to breathe through us? How might we awaken to the mystery of Easter’s exuberant ascendancy and enable its spiritually strengthening forces of renewal into our soul development—and its resurrective impulses to be carried transformatively into our hearts?
Join us as we give welcome to the wondrous Easter mystery of that love which seeks to graciously, extravagantly, bestow itself in life and life more abundant—to give itself out-pouringly in a miracling of crimson soaked joy!
