Apr 15 Sat
“When we were baptized in Christ Jesus, we were baptized in his death; in other words, when we were baptized, we went into the tomb with him and joined him in death, therefore, as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glory, we too might live a new life.”

I am like a little child who is in the arms of his Father God, facing his mother, the Blessed Virgin. Thus, Christ calls me –every day– to a new life in the glory of the Father, and then he shows up there, to make it happen. I should not delude myself into imagining that I am the protagonist of my own Christian life — for better or worse — but I am not.

He is the protagonist of history, and the protagonist of my salvation. My job is to realize that his grace is operating in me; my duty is to cooperate, to receive, and to respond — not to stand in his way.

I should ask him to remind me, each time, when and where he is showing up in my life, and to praise him for that presence. My wish is to seek him constantly, to find him, to open the door for him, to let him in, to sit down with him, to talk to him, to be always accompanying him.
