This spring in particular, with its arrival, reminds us that while our miseries are bounded in time, bliss knows no such limits. Whether the central focus of our celebration is Easter, Passover or the reckless beauty of a sunstruck spring day, the text for this weekend is one and the same. We have made our appointment with this new season of life; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
