practice resurrection

Feb 18, 2007 23:36

To be Christian means keeping faith with those who have heard and lived God’s call for justice, radical love and liberation; who have challenged unjust systems both political and ecclesiastical; and who in that struggle have refused to be victims and refused to cower under threat of violence, suffering and death.

Fullness of life is attained in moments of decision for such faithfulness and integrity. When the threat of death is refused and the choice is made for justice, radical love, and liberation, the power of death is overthrown.

Resurrection is radical courage.

Resurrection means that death is overcome in those precise instances when human beings choose life, refusing the threat of death.

Practice Resurrection.
