The Paschal Mystery should not dissolve into a collage of cute pastels. Easter is an unprecedented Divine irruption. It is the triumph of hope, not only over despair, but over despair's more attractive twin, optimism. For if despair is a form of presumption, of knowing better than God how things will turn out, what then is the cheery certainty that things turn out for the best? He was dead, really dead. His is alive, really alive. Because of this, because of Him, we live in hope.
