gospel outdoors The witnesses of the revived divine one preached this event all over the world, accepting happy the poverty, the difficulties, the pursuit and finally the death to testify his truth. This fact, which had upset his life, was changing, in effect, the conditions of existence of the humanity. His consequences are not less wonderful than the fact itself: all the men regenerated by Christ will revive as Him. For Him and in Him they will take part eternally of the God's life. He and in Him they will take part eternally of the God's life. The holiday of Easter is the major one of all the formalities, because Jesus' resurrection is undoubtedly the supreme proof of his divinity, but also because, being our luck joined to the his, the victory of Easter is also ours: we are brought by the certainty of our divine destiny. Our Lord had proclaimed this solidarity in one of last days that preceded his passion. He could not do it but in veiled terms, with aid of a comparison, which real meaning had escaped then from his disciples. Later they discovered her real sense. They had not forgotten, nevertheless, the specially serious tone with which his Teacher had done this declaration: " the hour Has come - he had said - in which the Son of the Man is going to be praised. Really, really I say to you, that, if the grain of wheat that falls down in the land, does not die, it remains alone: but if it dies, it gives very much fruit. " Such it is the law of the nature. The grain of wheat contains a germ of new life, but it will remain indefinitely sterile, if it does not die. The wheat enclosed in the Egyptian tombs was found intact after three thousand years, intact and still capable of germinating. It is necessary that the grain of wheat is buried in the land, which separates into its elements, that dies: then, from its death there arises a new and more abundant life. The Saviaor was announcing with these parables that his death was the condition necessary for his glory and resurrection. Observe at the same time as not only to Him. Speaking in property, to turn to the Father it was enough to disappear of a suden. But the same thing that the grain that rots in the soil not only produces another grain, but of that one there is born a spike full of grains similar to it, this way Jesus does not consent to enter only the Heaven, but with the redeemed humanity. Because of it He must die. Since if he does not die, he remains alone, If he does not die, he will be the only man in whom the divinity has resided. The condition of other men will continue being so wretched as previously. Nothing will have changed; the humanity will not have been rescued, not saved. His death, on the other hand, will give a multitude of new men, more numerous than the new grains of the spike: million men will receive his divine life, the eternal life. For this our Lord has wanted to pass for the death. His sacrifice was the principal object of his mission. " Nobody can take the life from me - he will say-, I give it for own will. I have the duty to give it, have the power to receive it " how sure be of yes same to express thus! Nobody before that had had the audacity to drop such words. The death was not for the human beings any more than a motive of sadness, he is yet the only adversary neither that nor the genius nor the power of the man could have won. They all try to escape of it, but they do not obtain it, since this brings together all for tying them in the jawbones of a merciless wheel. Only the Son of God could conquer the death and extract us of her claws. But the death would not have been conquered if Jesus only had avoided it. If he had to confront it in a terrible body to body, in which it seemed to be able More than her victim. The author of the life is not more than a corpse than compassionate hands they have deposited in a sealed and


monitored sepulcher. Jesus has died. The disciples weep for the Teacher that so apassionatly they have loved. their faith is broken. But the grain of wheat does not die any more than to give life to the mortal ones. Inside the sepulcher in which Jesus' body has been amortajado, an unheard-of drama is going to develop. The chief of the humanity has descended to the cold darkness, has gone in search of the death in her domain. As he says the sequence of the mass of easter, the death and the life measure up in field closed in a surprising duel. The life forces to the death to give up the prey and extracts the poisoned dart that the whole humanity was putting to her mercy. Insolent death, " where your victory is, where your sting is? ", Paul exclaims. The men will continue happening for his hands, but their will not retain them any more in his claws. Jesus Christ goes out of the tomb. he has won to the death. He has revived. His disciples start not giving credit to the victory of their Teacher. Nevertheless, he is to Him itself whom again they contemplate: the sign of the nails is in his hands. he is really, to whom they hear and touch in EmaĂşs's way, in the cenacle, being the closed doors, in the hill of Galilee, in the shores of the lake TiberĂ­ades. They see it again as it was before, with the same personality, his ardent and generous heart. Jesus had not cheated them on having said to them later
