As St. Peter explains it, the prophetic words of David in the Psalms have come true: Christ died, but didn't stay dead. By the power and promise of God, He rose again to new Life. He is the perfect sacrifice that completely cleanses us of all sin.
In the midst of all the despair we face in the world and in our lives, especially now, Christ comes alongside us, directing us toward His very living, real Presence. It is there that we have new life, and we rejoice that our destiny is secure in Him.
Like the two disciples who journeyed to Emmaus, we continue to encounter Him in His life-giving words, and in His offering to us, both of which continually draw us to Him.
And from these encounters, we joyfully go to proclaim His Presence.
May each day bring us the joy of recognizing Him right with us.
