The true light that illuminates the mystery of death comes from the resurrection of Christ. Here is the light. And St. Paul writes: “But if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some among you say there isno resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither has Christ been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then empty [too] is our preaching; empty, too, your faith” (1 Cor 15:12-14). There is one certainty: Christ is resurrected, Christ is risen, Christ is alive among us. And this is the light that awaits us behind that dark door of death.
