I love St. Paul’s Letter to the Colossians.  We heard from this letter on Easter Sunday.  There was an image in it from Paul that got me thinking, he tells us we are hidden in Christ.  The question I wrestle with in the episode today is, who are we hidden from?  Enjoy! Happy Easter!

Today, I am thinking about a verse from Mark 16 that we heard at the Easter Vigil.  My thoughts revolve around the image of the rising sun that Mark tells us about in the passage.  I hope this helps you journey into the gift that is the resurrection. Happy Easter!
