“But, now, Hope rose transcendent as a god,
Compelling and fulfilling. But what art
Could show that radiant form or who portray;
Or shape in words the Resurrection joy?”

For Charlotte Mason, the raising of Lazarus was a foreshadowing of the greater miracle that was yet to come, the miracle we celebrate today. For on Resurrection day, “Hope was revealed … Shadow of Death withdrawn.”

Today we begin our journey through Mason’s sixth volume of poems, entitled “The Training of the Disciples.” Read or listen to the first poem of the volume, which fittingly points to the Resurrection of Christ. (You can find it here.) And may you have a blessed time with family and friends celebrating and remembering our Lord on this most special day.
