Jesus well understood the human need for stories and taught His people in parables, feeding them with words just as surely as He fed them with loaves and fishes. His words and the story of His life were cherished by His disciples and passed along faithfully even when the telling led to martyrdom. How well the early Christians understood and lived the teaching, “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
Just a few days from now, the greatest night of storytelling of the year will take place throughout the world. Our Lord, loving and perfect Father, through His bride, our holy mother the Church, will unfold the story of Himself at the Easter Vigil. He will tell His children how He created the world, kept His promises to Abraham and Moses, and rose from the dead to free us from sin and death. He will remind us of the importance of sacred story through the words the prophet Isaiah, “All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children” and “My word shall not return to Me void, but shall do My will, achieving the end for which I sent it.”
