A prayer by Anton Rotzetter, kindly translated by Edda from German into English:

God
roll away the stone
that keeps me from believing

I want to believe
that you are Life
and that you overcome death

I want to believe
that you have already begun
by raising Jesus to a new life

Roll away the stone
that I may believe and rise up
to a joyful life

Juliana, wishing you all a Happy Easter!

Dear Sparrow, thank you for an absolutely gorgeous card. Wishing you a Happy Easter too.

Love is the only way

Dear Sparrow,

I am sorry I quite missed thanking you for your beautiful Easter wishes (with German coming first  )! It was late at night, and I was jumping to and fro between the German original of the prayer and its translation. I even put it on the wrong thread :-(. It´s good you have already gotten to know me as a (potentially) unsafe driver, so you´ll understand...

Dear Jude,

Thank you for your post, which reminded me!

Here I am now, wishing each and everyone of you a very Blessed and joyful Easter. I have been searching some of Thomas Merton´s journals to present you with a little Easter gift. Here is his entry for April 2, 1961, Easter Sunday.

A gay, bright, glorious day and a very fine Easter such as I do not remember for a long time. The Vigil was tremendous for me and the glory of Christ was in it. There has been splendor in everything (including the emptiness of Good Friday morning when rain came down in torrents and I stayed in the hermitage).

Love and Peace!

Juliana

Now the green blade rises from the buried grain,
Wheat that in dark earth many days has lain;
Love lives again, that with the dead has been;
Love is come again like wheat arising green.
 
When our hearts are wintry, grieving, or in pain,
Your touch can call us back to life again,
Fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been;
Love is come again like wheat arising green.
