Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe’s Easter message

April 04, 2026

[Episcopal News Service] Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe sent the following Easter message to the church on April 4, Holy Saturday.  Dear friends in Christ: One of the paradoxical truths of our faith is that Easter morning begins with sorrow. In John’s telling of the Easter story, we can almost feel the panic and confusion of the disciples in the predawn hours when Mary Magdalene discovers that the tomb is empty. Jesus had told them that he would rise from the dead, but how could they trust that promise after they had witnessed the brutality of his death on the cross? They were afraid, maybe even in hiding. As we know from the story of Cleopas and his companion on the road to Emmaus, some of them were heading out of town as fast as they could go. But Mary Magdalene did not hide or flee. She stayed at the foot of the cross until the end, and she arrived to anoint Jesus’ body before the sun was up on the first day of the week. Because of her devotion, she became the first witness to the resurrection and the first to proclaim the Good News. Like Mary Magdalene, we are called to be faithful in the face of grief, injustice, and anguish—even when the world is groaning with despair, and even when we cannot recognize Jesus standing right before our eyes. We believe, against all odds, that God has the power to turn death into life and despair into hope. This Easter, our world badly needs to hear this message. As we embrace our vocation to proclaim the resurrection, I pray that God gives us the courage to withstand the sin and violence in our midst and the grace to watch for Jesus in the most unlikely places. Alleluia, Christ is risen! The Most. Rev. Sean Rowe Presiding Bishop The Episcopal Church Queridos amigos en Cristo: Una de las verdades paradójicas de nuestra fe es que la mañana de Pascua comienza con tristeza. En la narración de Juan sobre la historia de la Pascua, casi podemos sentir el pánico y la confusión de los discípulos en las horas previas al amanecer cuando María Magdalena descubre que la tumba está vacía. Jesús les había dicho que resucitaría de entre los muertos, pero ¿cómo podían confiar en esa promesa después de haber sido testigos de la brutalidad de su muerte en la cruz? Tenían miedo, tal vez incluso estaban escondidos. Como sabemos por la historia de Cleofás y su compañero en el camino a Emaús, algunos de ellos estaban saliendo de la ciudad tan rápido como podían. Pero María Magdalena no se escondió ni huyó. Permaneció al pie de la cruz hasta el final, y llegó a ungir el cuerpo de Jesús antes de que saliera el sol en el primer día de la semana. Debido a su devoción, ella se convirtió en la primera testigo de la resurrección y la primera en proclamar las Buenas Nuevas. Como María Magdalena, estamos llamados a tener fe ante el dolor, la injusticia y la angustia, incluso cuando el mundo gime con desesperación, y aun cuando no podamos reconocer a Jesús ahí, justo frente a nuestros ojos. Creemos, contra todo pronóstico, que Dios tiene el poder de convertir la muerte en vida y la desesperación en esperanza. En esta Pascua, nuestro mundo necesita urgentemente escuchar este mensaje. Al abrazar nuestra vocación de proclamar la resurrección, oro para que Dios nos dé el valor para resistir el pecado y la violencia que nos rodean, así como la gracia para estar atentos a la presencia de Jesús en los lugares más inesperados. ¡Aleluya, Cristo ha resucitado!
