How to fight against skepticism

Easter Saturday

Mark 16:9-15 

It's quite puzzling that as St. Mark described the resurrection account, there were those who still didn't believe.  In today's times, we call it "skepticism".

Skepticism kills the mind of possibilities of creativity, change and progress.  Skepticism kills the hope in us, most specially in our young people who are filled with idealism.  Skepticism kills our faith in God, the source of all promises.  Eventually, skepticism kills the love in our hearts and causes us to be selfish and greedy.

Yet, despite the negativity, Jesus said, "Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation." He means what he says; for a positive outlook brings back creativity, faith, hope, and love.  Furthermore, his resolve is reflected in his apostles who declared, "It is better for us to follow God rather than men." For in men, all hope is lost; but in God, everything becomes possible.
