"God chose ordinary people to share his good news. In other words, he chose people just like us.
Why would God choose such a humble risky strategy?
...two possibilities:
First, Jesus wants us to experience his love through each other. He wants us to feel his presence through the generosity, the affection, and the humility of his followers. That's why he has called us to be a Church—so that he can work through us to change the world. It's why he calls us to gather around the altar as brothers and sisters."
~excerpt from meditation on today's first reading from Acts 10:41 in The Word Among Us.
Although I cannot find the exact words, the closing prayer last night was something along the lines of "so that we may be one mind and one heart" and Fr's homily was on the importance of love.
It comes together as the gift of Easter. The gift of love and how Jesus manifests it in our lives, through others.
My need is to make Christ the center. Not myself, but Christ.
Amen, alleluia. Happy Easter.
