Sister Anne Madeleine Brost, OSB shares a favorite essay related to the scripture readings for the Second and Third Sundays of Easter.
I recently received a copy of a Russian icon depicting the resurrection. Elements from the gospel narratives are arranged around: the earth swirling like the waves of the sea, the stone rolled away, the angel, the women. In the center, nothing. That was the message given to the women. “He is not here. He is elsewhere.” This is suggesting the reality of a different universe. The risen Lord is not to be sought within the confines of space and time. He is elsewhere.
