LED BY THE SPIRIT

The Paschal Mystery reminds us that God heals, He loves and He forgives. Yet he is often difficult to see, he never answers us in terms that we would like and never presents himself in the concrete ways that we could take as "visible signs." Still, the mystery of God overpowers sin and death. It replaces the ugliness of suffering and pain with the joy of hope and replaces hatred and violence with the promise of peace. The Cross of Christ reminds us that God's arms are opened wide in a loving embrace, that he has smashed the rock of the Tomb and that he has given us a new life in Himself.
