The joy of the Resurrection must be part of our lives. The world can look at John Paul II and believe him. He is a Resurrection person. We each have to be a Resurrection person: we have to do all we can to learn what it means to not only live in the shadow of the cross but in the presence of the Resurrection and its joy.<\/p>\n
St. Paul\u2019s message (2 Tim) is addressed to every one of us: \u201cFan into flame the gift God gave you…<\/p>\n
God\u2019s gift was not a spirit of timidity… We have been entrusted to look after something precious… Proclaim the message and, whether welcomed or unwelcomed, insist on it… Put up with your share of difficulty… Remember the good news; Jesus Christ is risen from the dead.\u201d<\/p>\n
We have the message of hope and we proclaim it to the world! This is what we have to communicate with our lives: we have to be examples of the resurrection: we have to be joyful, full of joy no matter what happens. This is part of our Christian life.<\/p>\n
We have union with all those who share this Spirit of God. We are in the center of that \u201ccross\u201d which is the union of the saints. This is the Mystical Body of Christ, this wonderful community we are part of, this magnificent ecclesia<\/em>, the Church, \u201cthose who are called,\u201d a community vibrant with faith, with hope, with charity and love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The joy of the Resurrection must be part of our lives.
