Come Out of Your Graves
(taken from today's mass' printed material from Church of the Holy Cross, Clementi-Singapore. A very nice one! -fon-)
Is it not true that at times we do not live a full live because we are afraid and selfish, we dare not to commit ourselves to one another, and we do not live according to the gospel?
If so, are we not more dead than alive? The gospel calls us today to come out of the tombs of our hardness of heart, out of the graves of our fears and selfishness, of everything that keeps us imprisoned. Let us heed the Lord's call to life, to rise with him to joy and love and freedom. Let us eat with the Lord his bread of life.
Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it,” says the LORD.’”
--- Ezekiel 37:12-14
