Daily Meditation for April 10, 2026

LIFE! How do we celebrate life in such a troubled world? As we come to the end of the first week of the Easter season, we know that the celebration of this feast continues on. While the decorated eggs may have already been eaten and Easter baskets have been put away for another year, we continue to be alleluia people! Not losing awareness of the great suffering and many challenges that many contend with daily, we choose to be people of peace and hopefulness. When burdened with the troubling world situation or may experience first-hand in our own country, we don’t despair because the celebration of Easter helps us to hold on to hope and reminds us that life is worth living. Signs of new life surround us this time of year. Take a walk today and pay attention to all the signs of life that you encounter.
