To grow up,
to true as a human being,
the Holy Spirit relentlessly woos us into the unfathomable mystery of Christ Jesus.
We, however, reluctantly surrender our lives to this mystery.
Birthing the Christ in us is never-ending.
In Ephesians 2:22, Paul reveals we are being knit together into dwelling places for God in the Spirit.
Lent is meant to let the Christ Easter in us
Grow down.
Center
into the Christ Mystery
where our union with each other
deepens,
where we find our true Self.
In a world where the human heart,
weary beyond words,
breaks daily —
hungers for someone somewhere to trust,
rest
in the hope springing from Love
stronger than death.
Rest
– Fr. Jerome Schroeder, OFM Cap.
There is so much here in these words for me today. Food for my spirit and a balm for my heartbroken soul.
Wow a-lot to think about. Thank you
Thank you. What a beautiful gift!
May the risen Christ awaken in our hearts.
