God shows His love for in sending His Son to cleanse us from sin and to experience Eternal Life.
He chose us to experience this Life now, appointing us to the task of bearing fruit as we live out the Love He first showed us.
It is a Love that encompasses all people as God sends His Spirit through all people, doing marvelous works to draw us to Him, as He does astoundingly by anointing Cornelius and his household with the Holy Spirit. (It was just like the scene I saw 9 years ago today when my cousin Josh was confirmed along with a large number of others at his parish, which happened after I heard this passage from Acts proclaimed by one the Confirmation students.)
Let us rejoice in these Easter days and beyond that God chose us to be part of this work of bearing fruit, and sharing this mission with those all over the world.
