Do I have the courage to see the real Christ in our world today? Do I ask and actually receive the grace to let go of that which prevents me – my own sins and anxieties – from the desire to live as Christ for others in our midst? Do we allow Christ to open our minds and our hearts to where He teaches love? Can we be fearless and new as Easter people? Can our Church serve in the way Christ calls which may be different than where we are comfortable? Can our faith move from invisible to invincible?
Let us share a meal with Christ in the Eucharist today, receive Him fully and without fear, and then go out and renew ourselves, our friends and families, and especially our broken communities with that love of Christ living in and between us.
