Resurrection: Where do we go from here?

"Believe in the Resurrection" by Carlo Carretto

When the world seems a defeat for God and you are sick with the disorder,

the violence, the terror, the war on the streets; when the earth seems to

be chaos, say to yourself, “Jesus died and rose again on purpose to save,

and his salvation is already with us.” . .

Every newly-opened leper hospital is an act of faith in resurrection.

Every peace treaty is an act of faith in the resurrection.

Every agreed commitment is an act of faith in resurrection.

When you forgive your enemy

When you feed the hungry

When you defend the weak

You believe in resurrection.

When you have the courage to marry

When you welcome the newly-born child

When you build your home

You believe in resurrection.

When you wake at peace in the morning

When you sing to the rising sun

When you go to work with joy

You believe in the resurrection.

Let’s stop looking up for His presence and remember to look around in the here and now – that is where HE is present. Easter Joy!
