The document discusses the importance and effects of remembering. It notes that remembering helps us learn from and be impacted by our past, but that we can become stuck if we only dwell in the past. The key is to use remembering as a springboard to celebrate the present life we have each day and create new memories, rather than clinging to the past. When we live in the present with God, we can make the gospel real today and let our memories inspire us going forward.

- 5. When we get stuck in the past we are chained, if you will, and held back from seeing the possibilities that are before us in any given day. The call is to live in the now and do it in the Presence of the Lord.
- 6. As we remember in a special way the life of our Lord, we have before us the example of how to live. That lesson is found in His loving, forgiving, embracing, caring, touching, challenging, image after image, lesson after lesson of the better way.
- 7. It is the way that makes new memories - that become treasures in our hearts, and become the springboard leading us to celebrate a new day.
- 8. We cannot go back and change yesterday, and we have no idea what tomorrow will bring but we have today to make the Gospel real, to live in the now and live it filled with the presence of the Lord. [email_address]
