Christianity, unlike any other religion in the world, begins with catastrophe and defeat. Sunshine religions and psychological inspirations collapse in calamity and wither in adversity. But the Life of the Founder of Christianity, having begun with the Cross, ends with the empty tomb and victory.
– Bishop Fulton Sheen, Life of Christ
The Lord of History is risen.
Thus humanity enters into an existential tailspin...
But do not despair.
As you are falling or after you fall,
Call upon His Most Holy Name.
A Pierced Hand will take hold of you.
It will lift you up.
It will guide and protect you.
The Lord of History is risen.
Humanity is redeemed.
Glory be unto God.
Amen. Amen.
