The Omega Point represents a real hope for us because we can rightly expect to be integrated into it; because an irrevocability attaches to the human person, who will not be reduced to nothingness but will be delivered from his isolation and taken into the unity of the everlasting Man.... The Resurrection of Jesus gives us the certainty that God exists and that, as Father of Jesus Christ, he is a God of human beings. The Resurrection of Jesus is the definitive theophany and the triumphant answer to the question of which really reigns: death or life. God exists: that is the real message of Easter. Anyone who even begins to grasp what this means also knows what it means to be redeemed. He knows why in her prayers on this day the Church sings endless Alleluias, thus giving expression to the wordless jubilation that is too intense to be articulated in everyday language because its object is our life in its entirety, with all that is effable and ineffable in it. Celebrating Easter means experiencing something of this joy.
