Dear brothers and sisters.
Christ died and rose once for all, and for everyone, but the power of the Resurrection, this passover from slavery to evil to the freedom of goodness, must be accomplished in every age. In our concrete existence, in our everyday lives.
How many deserts, even today, do human beings need to cross? Above all, the desert within, when we have no love for God or neighbour,when we fail to realize that we are guardians of all that the Creator has given us and continues to give us. God’s mercy can make even the driest land become a garden, can restore life to dry bones. (ct. Ez.37:1-14)
