We have been blessed with faith that leads to resurrection. We are Easter people even in the midst of our vulnerability and suffering. We know that God in Christ is with us giving us a sense of security and peace even in the midst of our trials now and to celebrate with us what is next in our lives. But even though we are Easter people, there are people in our lives and in our world who are going through the Good Friday experience. All around us we see suffering, hunger, divisions of every sort. How do we deal with the chaos that we see?
We could look to our new pope to be a witness for us day after day. He is in touch with events that can make him happy like the celebration of the Jubilee year. He lets his happiness show in his facial expressions as he enjoys the goodness in people from many world countries each day. And yet he is keenly aware of the reality of pain in the lives of so many. He always is in touch with the latest tragedy asking for prayers and inviting Christians to acts of care and generosity as well as advocate for justice.
We too are called to follow his example living out of the reality of our times. God has given us a leader who shows us the way. This season of Lent is a time to more diligently listening to God in the renewal of our Christina life.
- What do you think of the new pope?
- Can he become a welcome guide for you?
- How do you show you are an Easter person in a troubled world?
