\"personal-resurrection\"<\/a>I had a different kind of Holy Week.<\/p>\n

I entered into my own private passion along\u00a0with Jesus.<\/p>\n

I intended to blog through the Triduum.\u00a0Instead, I spent the whole week so sick with fever and chills I\u00a0could barely make it from the couch to the bed.<\/p>\n

This was the first time I’d missed the Triduum Masses\u00a0in 12 years.<\/p>\n

I had a lot of time to reflect on Jesus and what he must have gone through during those days.<\/p>\n

I once read a mystic’s account that said Jesus developed a fever after being beaten by guards and then scourged. I could imagine how his body must have burned and ached.
\n<\/p>\n

And here I was burning and aching in the same way, however, I had a comfortable couch to lay on and blankets to keep the chill away. All he had was cold stone, bound hands, and later a crown of thorns…more pain, more public mockery, and no comfort.<\/p>\n

All I\u00a0could do was rest. Any effort was agony. I thought of how much Jesus must have longed for rest. And none came. He was just pushed on to more activity, more torture, and\u00a0harder and harder trials.<\/p>\n

And then, on Saturday it began to let up. By Easter Sunday I was pretty much well again. And today, I experienced, in a sense, my own resurrection from the dead as I woke up to complete health again. I feel resurrected.<\/p>\n

Health is something you just take for granted until it’s not there. From moment to moment you’re not conscious of being without pain. But when you come out of sickness, you’re suddenly aware of every minute of health.<\/p>\n

Can you even fathom the beauty of what Jesus must have felt in his glorified body on Easter\u00a0morning? After hour upon hour of effort and toil in the most excruciating anguish, it must have felt like…heaven. No cuts, no broken bones, no pain.<\/p>\n

But not only that–power! The power of the Holy Spirit coursing through every molecule of his body. It wasn’t just his old body raised up again like he had done\u00a0with Lazarus. It was a completely new, completely different kind of body…a spiritualized, divinized body. He\u00a0could walk through walls, he\u00a0could be in two places at once, yet he\u00a0could eat, be touched, and be really present to his friends.<\/p>\n

The resurrection is such an amazing thing. It is the cornerstone of our faith. In fact, if Jesus wasn’t resurrected there\u00a0would be no faith St. Paul tells us. But we take it for granted, like health.<\/p>\n

Take some time to reflect on the resurrection this week. Allow yourself to be filled up by the thought of it. We can all be resurrected from the\u00a0sickness that keeps us lying on the couch of our sin. Unable to move. Unable to feel without pain.<\/p>\n

The life that courses through Christ’s body now can course through yours. It can bring your soul back to life. I hope it does that for mine. I want to feel as good in my soul as I do in my body today.<\/p>\n

Can you remember a time when you were really sick and then got well? How did it feel to be resurrected? Think about that as you pray today during this Octave of Easter.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
