Of the christian movement, this day is the real beginning after they hit rock bottom on good friday. their leader had been brutally executed. the group was broken up. all their hopes were dashed and then there came this conviction that he was risen, that he is in their midst, and especially the women in the group carried the message. they were the ones that went to the tomb. marry magdalene saw him in the garden and thought are you the gardener? it s a message of new hope and new life and rebuilding from having hit rock bottom. i think that s something that christians have always been ready to go back to. i think especially today roman catholics need to reflect on the aspect of renewal and rebuilding. eric: there seem to be lessons for everyone, not just roman catholic.
