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 is
    seeking
desperately to
re-discover its
divine heritage
and 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 him
who goes before
  each of us to
 Galilee - to the
      world
and give
witness to
   him.
We hope you enjoyed this reflection.
