Every day is a new beginning...
Jesus' death and resurrection showed us the way!
War, famine, hunger, poverty, corruption, terrorism, crime, hatred, division, arrogance, disease, intolerance, and abuse - these are the sad marks of our present world. But every day, we can make a change in our lives that when multiplied over time and over many people can change this destructive spiral into a new world of hope. Jesus did this in his time which was very much like ours today. He prayed with us, taught us kindness, love, and generosity, and practised these. By His death and resurrection, He showed us that even death could be conquered.
What can we do?
Imitating Jesus, let us pray, teach kindness, love, and generosity to our children and practise these with those we meet daily. In time, this seed will bloom into a flower. In time, many flowers will bloom to change the ugliness and barrenness in our world to a beautiful landscape of peace, plenty, and happiness!
