As I reflect less on Easter fesitivies and more on faith, Rep. James Talarico’s prayer resonates.Tyler Sizemore /Hearst Connecticut Media
Easter has always been a time of celebration in my family Mass, Easter egg hunts, barbecue and, yes, cascarones. As I get older, I try to reflect less on the festivities and more on the mystery of faith and what it means in my life.
I was baptized and raised Catholic, and I am a member of a Christian church. I am not religious; some days I pray more than others, and I should read the Bible more. But I am faithful.

It’s been said that “to err is human. To forgive is divine.” Forgiveness is an integral part of the Easter season, and it’s an integral part of finding love. Jackie Dorman is a matchmaker, relationship coach, and author. Finding love in 12 months sounds almost impossible, but she says it’s not – IF you’re willing to take the right steps, like forgiving those who’ve hurt you in the past.
From noon on, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And about three oâclock Jesus cried with a loud voice, âEli, Eli, lema sabachthani?â that is, âMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?â Matthew 27:44â46
Jesus asked a lot of questions during his relatively brief ministry on earth â 307 to be precise. Yet, THIS question ⦠his LAST question in his earthly life, was different from all the others. It wasnât meant to teach anything ⦠it wasnât offered for the benefit of those who are listening in.
Rather, as Martin Copenhaver has written, âMy God, my God, why have you forsaken meâ is an expression of isolation. It is raw and threatening, like an open wound. And, like Jesus hanging on the cross, it hangs in the air unanswered.â
