Our faith is not in one who is
dead, but rather in one
who has overcome
death and is alive!
Christ is our light in the darkness.
Christ is the word made flesh.
Christ is the beginning of a new creation,
regenerating waters of new life.
Christ is the food of the paschal banquet of freedom and reconciliation.
We receive his forgiving love for us in Baptism and
pass with him from death to life.
Our true destiny is to live in the
image and likeness of God;
to be light for the world.
Our call is to contemplate the word of God and to give it flesh; to live it!
Our baptismal call is to be a
holy, prophetic,
priestly and royal people.
Our sharing in the paschal banquet
calls us to give our lives to feed, free and reconcile all peoples.
Humanity isseeking
desperately tore-discover itsdivine heritageand final end.
The risen Lord calls us to
believe what he has told us;
to open the eyes of our hearts to see him;
and to follow himwho goes before
each of us toGalilee - to the
world
and givewitness to
him.
We hope you enjoyed this reflection.
