Clarity and Freedom
"Death is a moment of absolute clarity and complete freedom. In the divine presence, all the things that might distract us in this life are gone. We shed them as a serpent sheds its skin."

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 28,8-15.
Then they went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce this to his disciples.And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage.Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."
While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had happened.They assembled with the elders and took counsel; then they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, telling them, "You are to say, 'His disciples came by night and stole him while we were asleep.' And if this gets to the ears of the governor, we will satisfy (him) and keep you out of trouble." The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has circulated among the Jews to the present (day).

Jesus met them on their way and greeted them”
“Come and see the place where he lay” (Mt 28,6)...Come and see the place where the act that guarantees your resurrection was composed. Come and see the place where death was buried. Come and see the place where a body, a seed not sowed by man, produced a multitude of spikes for eternal life...”Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and they will see me. Tell my disciples the mysteries you have seen.”
This is what the Lord told the women. And now once again, he stands at the edge of the baptismal pool, invisible, near the faithful, he hugs the newly baptized as his friends and brothers...He fills their hearts and their souls with jubilation and joy. He washes their sins in the fountains of his grace. He anoints with the perfume of the Spirit those who have been regenerated.
The Lord becomes the one who feeds them and he becomes their food. He provides for his servants their part of spiritual nourishment. He tells all the faithful: “Take and eat the bread from heaven, receive the source that comes out from my side, the one from which one can always draw without it ever drying up. You who hunger, satisfy your hunger; you who thirst, get drunk with a sober and healthy wine”.
