Wounds & death still exist yet our transformation allows us the holy resources and true meaning of these life issues and purpose of our earthly life.Tom Sawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01876576116642210790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514529524983639875.post-47320004148186219082018-04-01T21:35:24.414-04:002018-04-01T21:35:24.414-04:00This homily struck such a chord with me.

The excerpt from the French novel caught my attention and I could immediately see the connection with Jesus taking all of our sins upon himself and giving us new life. <br /><br />But another thing that made an impression on me was that as you spoke in your homily, I kept expecting you to say that Dominic would have to change from his old ways, once he took on the new identity of his dying friend. Or that we need to change - transform/convert - from our old ways so that we can follow Jesus in the new way of life he offers. However, rather than using any of those words - change/convert/transform - you said that we would need to be responsible in and for our new life offered to us through Christ. I liked the difference I heard in you selecting that word. It requires maturity and accountability - but it doesn't sound impossible. Sometimes the thought of having to change can be daunting and it almost implies being so very different from what I am. But being responsible - that sounds like something that I know I should have been doing all along - it is within my grasp - but I need to step up to the plate. It means being the best I can be with all of the gifts God has given me. It means embracing all that God has made me to be and being the best version possible.<br /><br />Happy Easter, Matador. Thanks for always making us think and to see choosing life and love as the pathway to being with God in the Kingdom now and into eternity.The difference a word can makenoreply@blogger.com
