Resurrected to Reside
Sundays are dedicated to contemplate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus. As we start reflecting Jesus as Risen Lord we always separate him from us to heaven as the arts picturise it. But Jesus the Risen Lord is not so far from us. He is risen so as to be with us.
Let us imagine a Jesus who normally comes out from the cave and speaks to Mary Magdalene. That was the real resurrection purpose. Jesus Himself said that when he ascended in to heaven, "I will be with you till the end of the days."
In this pandemic time we are in need of a strong reflection of our Lord Jesus as the good shepherd. Let us personalize this lockdown experience as the desert experience. Though we sit and ear well we starve spiritually. Hence let us look up to the heightened spiritual endeavour and the worldly affairs to the least.
We are also in need of priests who are not just priests but also a father who cares us in all our difficult times of life. But the situation made all the priests as just priests and social workers there are no opportunities for them to fulfill their duties as a father which is their priority of life.
Let us remember them and pray for them that they may be strengthened spiritually and humanly by the divine.
Let's Pray:
O Lord the Good Shepherd, lead us into the green pastures to lay aside your sweet bosom and enjoy the heavenly bliss. Amen
