“A father’s communication with his many children… that is one of the most agreeable occupations of my life” 1857
It is not just on Easter Sunday that we live out our own experiences of the new world born in His Resurrection. It begins to become a daily occurrence as we walk with those to whom we are sent, whether they be those [adults] asking to learn more about God and God’s Church; those who ask for Baptism and the Sacraments. or the least of the least.
We consciously let our lives be enriched by the poor and the marginalized, the new lepers of the 21st century. This as we work and walk with them, for they can make us hear in the ways the Gospel we proclaim. We do this with a sensitivity born of love, to the mentality of all people, drawing on the riches of their cultures and faith traditions. (ref. R 8a)
Some had family and friends with them, and others were alone except for their sponsor, all of them are now part of a larger family. These are but some of the people with whom we work as together strive to bring all people to full consciousness of their dignity as human beings and as sons and daughters of God.
Easter Sunday morning the church was so full that there were only a few seats available – families, and young people – the same young people who have been searching for a deeper way of being – they have come from all corners of the world: the same corners that Eugene de Mazenod sent and continues to send to which his sons and daughters find their places of belonging.
None of this possible with out the Cross and Resurrected Saviour.
