Beloved Co-Disciples and Friends,
We now enter together into the more serious days of the Eastertide. Their initiatory significance is understood more deeply with each passing year. Ann Ree assures us that what we know as the events of the Passion are archetypal events, a part of our souls’ understanding, experience, and ultimate victory. In different ways on both the outer and the inner, the Easter drama is to be lived and realized by all. “We shall be like Him” (1 John 3:2). Such are the elements of the path set forth for us all. “I am the Way” (Jesus, St. John 14:6). We must never forget that the path is real – its symbology is personal, universal, archetypal, and eternal. We remember Him with greater understanding and deepest reverence in the commemorations to be shared in the coming weeks.
We praise our Lord, for Christ is risen, verily. We reverently touch His garment, His heart. And our souls are as shining pearls within His love. His transcending love enables us to rise above our weaknesses, fears, and doubts. Through Him, we know we are immortal, we are eternal, and we are of God.
Think on the Resurrection at Easter time. Turn thy face to the horizon of Easter Morn, to the new day in which men know birth through the Resurrection. Behold the way in which the earth is made fragrant once again. In the Holy Dew of Heaven, all things are made new. In the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus, the Christ Spirit entered the Earth. Let men move their faces, their countenances, to the Light of God. -Ann Ree Colton
Those who seek to emulate the Virtues of the Lord Jesus are the meek of the earth and the children of the Resurrection. As children of the Resurrection, their hearts and minds become as chalices to receive the Anointing Spirit of God. -Jonathan Murro
Let us think on the Resurrection and remember the beloved One who willingly gave all. And let us also remember and give thanks for all those who have lived His Way, and opened this meaningfulness within our hearts. Let us remember the Father’s love that raised Him from the dead and passed to us the understanding of Eternal life. At Easter the glimpses of the Eternal are opened to our faith. Let us Rise with Him and serve with the Logos of our knowing, prayers, and faith.
Wishing all a most sacred Easter commemoration.
Sincerely, Enys Miller
and all your co-disciples at the Ann Ree Colton Foundation
