This weekend many are celebrating Easter, the Resurrection of Christ, His suffering
and death into life which is the heart of
Christianity. The following is the conclusion
of a service that
remembers Christ's passion and death.
Christ may say to us - I told you at the start, my other self, my life was not complete
until I crowned it by my death. Your "way" is
not complete unless you crown it by your
life. Accept each moment as it comes to you, with faith and trust that all that happens
has my mark on it. A simple fiat, this is all it takes: a breathing in your heart, "I will it,
Lord."
So seek me not in far-off places. Your workbench, office, kitchen,
these are altars where
y you offer love. And I am with you there. I am
with you always. Go now! Take up your
c cross and with your life
complete your way.
............................ The resurrection doesn't answer any of our curious questions about life after death,
such as; How will it be? How will it look? But it
does reveal to us that, indeed, love
i is stronger, than death.
