easter thoughts

I'm not sure what the theme of my homily today ought to be. 

Do I want to speak of the miracle 

of our Lord's divine transformation? 

Not really, no. 

I don't want to talk about his divinity.

I'd rather talk about his humanity. 

I mean, you know, how he lived his life, 

here on earth, his kindness, his tolerance. 

Listen, here's what I think. 

I think we can't go around measuring our goodness 

by what we don't do, by what we deny ourselves, 

what we resist, and who we exclude. 

I think we've got to measure goodness 

by what we embrace, what we create 

and who we include.

Happy Easter, my friends.
