We are called to be active participants in the Eucharist. I do not only mean participation in the liturgy but in the living Eucharist happening around us, namely the Mission of the Church.
We are called to be active participants in the Eucharist. I do not only mean participation in the liturgy but in the living Eucharist happening around us, namely the Mission of the Church.
Because we are eternally loved by God, we become the not just objects of His love, we become the Mystery of Love, capable of loving all humanity and everything that God has created.
Like those who have laboured before us, we must keep in mind that this is not of our doing.
Jesus’ ascension is not a separation from his followers but rather an invitation for us to be taken up into the union (oneness) with the Godhead; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit of God is still active and alive in the life and ministry of the Church.
My true love for my brothers and sisters is my true Christian identity. Jesus embraced death on a cross because he truly loved us.
In the Passion of Jesus, we see how our blessed Mother stands with her Son at every moment of his journey to Calvary, and so too with our mothers.
Let us ask God for his grace to do our best in living our Christian vocation with great joy.
Let us continue to live the joy of Easter in our lives.
Active participation in the Holy Week liturgy will also deepen our relationship with God, increase our Faith, and strengthen our lives as disciples of Jesus.
