“The grace of Easter is a great silence, an immense tranquility and a clean taste in your soul. It is the taste of heaven, but not the heaven of some wild exaltation. The Easter vision is not riot and drunkenness of spirit, but a discovery of order above all order—a discovery of God and of all thing in Him. This is a wine without intoxication, a joy that has no poison in it. It is a life without death.” Thomas Merton, April 9, 1950
