Bishop Conlon talks the fact that, without Jesus rising from the dead, we would be children of death, It is Jesus rising from the dead that the real defeat of death and sin occurs. He talks about the differences in how people from the East and West have a different understanding of the Paschal Mystery. The people in the East are more conscious of Christ being raised from the dead and sitting gloriously at the right hand of the Father. We, in the West, focus a lot on the sense of hope and joy of Jesus's death and resurrection and a community of people coming together to celebrate His resurrection. Bishop Conlon likes this kind of spirituality, which is about reliance on the glory and power of God and joy and hope within a community of other worshipers.
