A Call To Resurrection

Let us proclaim the reality of the resurrection-

Not the resurrection which is the creation of another reality beyond life- 

But a resurrection which is the transformation of this reality in the direction 

of greater aliveness. People and society are resurrected every moment 

in the act of hope and of faith in the here and now-

Every act of love, of awareness, of compassion is resurrection-

Every act of sloth, of greed, of selfishness is the death of the spirit.

Every moment life’s confronts us with the alternatives of death and

resurrection- To live, then, is to choose, and in choosing, we give

our answer- Our answer lies not in what we say or think,

But in what we are and how we act-

Let us proclaim, let us choose, let us live the reality of resurrection!

Adapted from the writings of Eric Fromm

Continuing on my theme of the importance of choices… If you are following a Christian path, een loosely, you recognize the universal need to “rise above” our ego’s predilections and vain rationalizations.  

If I were to summarize this call, this courageous invitation to transformation, I would conclude that resurrection is the call to be your whole selves, or your holy selves by embodying those uplifting, unselfish and sustaining virtues and values that give life its purpose and highest meaning…
