We've all been waiting for this. For six weeks we've focused on letting go of our treasure to help others, taking in a little less food, and reaching out to God a little more, all so that we might in some small way prepare for this day-the greatest celebration of our Church year. 5o now, after the alleluias have been sung, the baptismal vows repeated, and the Easter lamb or ham eaten, it's time to ask ourselves, "What was all that preparation for? How have I changed?" When lwas young, I gave up candy or little treats for Lent, but after Easter happily went back to eating candy and carried on as before. As a young adult, I began using Lent to correct bad habits. I had a little more success keeping those at bay after Easter but, I confess, I didn't see myself as transformed. "How have I drawn closer to Christ through this Lent?" "How will I show forth the glory of his resurrection in your Iife?" "How will I do these things?" These are good questions for all of us to ask as this Easter winds down. Once they realized what had happened, the early Christians couldn't keep it to themselves. They preached about Jesus' death and resurrection wherever they went, witnessed to the change he'd made in their lives, and tried to live differently. They invited others to join them. Jesus calls us to do no less. I
How have Lent and Easter and the memory of Christ's death
and
resurrection changed you? How will you live out that change? MARY KATHAR lN E DEELEY

the Cospel of Lulee, the three Luonten who discouer the empty tomb are greeted by two nten. Howeuer, Mark says they were greeted by one man, Mattlteu says one angel, and John says ttuo angels, Why the discrepancies?
When considering the contents of the gospels, we need to remember
a
few key points.
First, the Scriptures
Acts2:14,29-33 Matthew 28:8-15
Acts 2:36--41
John 20:11-18
,-''. Acts
3:1-10
Luke 24:13-35
Acts 3:11-26 Luke24:35-48
Acts
John
as we know them developed out of an oral tradition that was later written to preserve it. The process of actually getting them in writing took many years. In addition, the Gospels were written by different authors who had different audiences with different needs. So it's understandable that there may be minor discrepancies on minor details between the different accounts. However, it's important to note that the substanre of the accounts remains essentially the same across the versions we have from the different gospel authors. The detail of r,vhether there was one man or two angels at Lord's 166f-61 5,000 or 3,000 fed atJesus' multiplication of the loaves, to give another example-isn't as important as the fact that the Lord had risen or rhar the multitudes
were fed by him. FR. S C OTT KATZEN BEIIGER, C S'R . u Li.*
