How Jesus Rises Today….

Signs of the Resurrection today….When the world seems a defeat for God and you are sick with the disorder, the violence, the terror, the war on the streets; when the earth seems to be chaos, say to yourself, “Jesus died and rose again on purpose to save, and his salvation is already with us.” . . .

– Every newly-opened leper-hospital is an act of faith in the resurrection.
– Every peace treaty is an act of faith in the resurrection.
– Every agreed commitment is an act of faith in the resurrection.
– When you forgive your enemy
– When you feed the hungry
– When you defend the weak
– you believe in the resurrection.
– When you have the courage to marry
– When you welcome the newly-born child
– When you build your home
– You believe in the resurrection.
– When you wake at peace in the morning
– When you sing to the rising sun
– When you go to work with joy
– You believe in the resurrection.

– – Carlo Carretto quoted in “Lent” by Megan McKenna
