Five years ago, the Christians of our country experienced Easter as none before him, and we hope that we will no longer see each other anymore. It was a time insulation, loneliness and anxietyBut today, we learn from this darkness, the flame of our faith only became brighter.
Before the pandemic of Koida, few Americans could have imagined even any day, let alone an Easter Sunday, where we couldn’t go to church. This is, after all, a nation created by people who sought freedom of worship, but they are satisfied.
The whole Lent in 2020, which creepy, followed the appearance of the Chinese virus, I remember heard the bells of the church in Brooklyn, breaking through the unusual silence of the empty urban landscape.

But The church door was tightly locked about the commands of the epidemiologist.
The sound of the bell mixed comfort with a derision, a sharp reminder of the spiritual ban, but also ringing with the promises and truth that it would pass.
At that time, separated from my family, I wrote ua New York post column If we “renounced each other for borrowing. But as we wake up on Sunday with the superior reality of current circumstances, we hope to see each other again.”
As we celebrate the Lord’s resurrection this year, not only did they go through the locks of covid, not only are our churches open, but they are full on a ribbon of flocks of loyal, new and old ones, in what some have called other American religious revival.
In the church, things can be beautiful and true and celebrated, unlike the world filled with the snark of our screens that succeeds in cruel jokes.
This week, the same New York post published an article with a famous title, “Young people mashedly turn into Catholicism – guided by pandemia, the Internet, ‘loose’ alternatives. “
The National Catholic Register reports that Catholic parishes across the country experience a growth of 30-70%, which is not only Catholics. Ask any Christian in our country, and I meet a lot in the way, and most will tell you to see and feel the growth in faith.

Maybe we should not be surprised that the bitter glass of covida led to a greater religious respect for Christians. After all the Holy Spirit, speaking through the prophets, he said in thousands of years of the period of loss and suffering, which are the end of the fullness of God’s light.
From expelling from Eden, to the flood, to the exodus, and at the end of Christ’s 40 days of hunger and temptation in the desert, over and over, suffering is what the people of God brings closest to him.
During the man, our desert was insulation, and especially for young people, she was just worseing what was already a trend of smartphones that replace playgrounds, virtual life online, slowly replacing reality.
Everything is very real in the church, how much more than a thousand years. We are never alone in the church. In the church, things can be beautiful and true and celebrated, unlike the world filled with the snark of our screens that succeeds in cruel jokes.
Human beings need a purpose and meaning except that they are a gear in the brave new world of technology. We need a connection with our God and with each other.
And so we should consider our cold, dark Easter this year, while spring beautifies clouds and warms the grass throughout this nation, and remember that once again, as always, God brought us from suffering.

This year he will be family and friends, handling and hugs. There will be no masks, and life will be well lived, as in good old days, as in the old normal.
Maybe more than anything else, we have all learned a difficult way not to take the practice of our faith for granted. We never thought it could be taken from us, and yet it was, even though only briefly.
On the second night, I had to pick up my son from his CCD class in the church. It was after 9pm and the class was running late. I was tired and annoyed, but then I saw him and his friends go out, laughing, I just spent an hour talking about God.

A sense of gratitude washed me. I didn’t have to be there, I have to be there. This was not a burden, it was a blessing.
Is America ready for a new religious revival from the covid ash? It may be too early, but in the end it is on us, and so far the signs look pretty good.
