Quote for Reflection (Sunday, April 18, 2021)

“The promise of the resurrection empowers the journey toward Christlikeness in this life – and necessitates it, if we hope to encounter death as a portal rather than a brick wall. This is the mystery that Jesus tried to communicate to his disciples; those who try to secure their own lives will lose them; those who give away their lives in acts of love, service and witness for Jesus’ sake will secure them for eternity (see Mk 8:35).”
