“On the third day”…it’s a phrase rich with meaning for people of the resurrection. We cannot hear it without thinking about what is to come…The phrase is rich with meaning and points to the miracle of resurrection life. And what does that life look like?” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves.
“In God’s generosity and grace, we have been given all that we need to be the Church and yet so often we begin from a place of deficit, a place of ‘if only’…a place of thinking we’ll never have enough to do anything much at all.

“One day in 1879, an archeologist went into a cave, looking for prehistoric artifacts…with…his young daughter. Marcelino was studying the ground, when he heard his little girl cry out. “Look, papa, oxen!” he looked in her direction and saw she was pointing to the ceiling…his little girl didn’t look down. She looked up. Just like the magi, the wise men, in today’s gospel reading. They also looked up,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves.
