Monday in Easter Week
is the joy that speaks to the deepest grief
Easter joy comes in the morning after a night of weeping
Easter joy speaks our name
Easter joy changes the very foundations of the universe
and Jesus tells Mary Magdalene to Go!
because Easter joy in meant to be shared
Easter joy belongs to us
because we are beloved of God
because we have already received the promise
of new life and new hope
Easter joy bursts for with every
Alleluia!
