Deacon John Writes:
During Lent we will hear Jesus say these words: “If anyone believes in me, even though he dies he will live, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.”
Fr.Kenneth E Grabner wrote the following about these words: “When two people deeply love each other, they never want their love to end. I think that’s one of the best experiences we can ever have. It’s open to every one of us! It is a sign of a vibrant love, one that reaches out to heaven. It’s also a sign of the way God loves us. God desires to be with us in an intimate relationship that will grow and never end. Our resurrection is the way God brings this about. There is a sign which reads: “This life is good, but the best is yet to come.” Never forget those words. God offers us a resurrected future full of incredible beauty and joy. But then, what else would you expect a loving God to do?”
He concludes with this little prayer: “Thank you, Lord, for your incredible, unending love.”
With my love and prayers for each one of you.
