We must begin with our own personal conversion and mending the broken relationships in our lives. Today, we gather to witness to one another, to those of the household of the faith, to those who share our convictions. From here we will go forth as messengers to a society that is largely indifferent or hostile our message. The more faithfully we live the life of the Resurrection, the more we will be able to change people's hearts. The most powerful weapon is love.
Love is stronger than death.
Love pierces the cloud of unknowing, it also pierces the heart of an enemy and transforms that enemy into a brother or sister. They tell the parable that upon Jesus' arrival in Heaven after the Ascension. He was greeted by a host of angels. After the formalities, they asked Him whom he had left behind on earth to finish the work He had begun. We who are the disciples of the Prince of Life must carry forth Christ's mission.
