Which Superhero do you like the best? Are you anticipating the next blockbuster movie with your favorite character? Many times, if we "kick it up a notch," these action figures can bring us to the image of the power and saving presence of God.
Do we recognize the power of God in our everyday living? The floating clouds on a sunny day happen sometimes without our noticing it. The sun seems to travel across our sky ushering nightfall, and it is something we take for granted. At Mass, the priest says the words "This is My Body. This is My Blood" and a miracle happens before our eyes. Still, sometimes we feel as if we have to make ourselves go to Mass. After all, there so many other important things to do. REALLY? Do I really want to miss a miracle?
There is hidden power in our lives too, like the power that comes from within when I am able to forgive myself or others. I witness power in my life when I am able to discipline myself from saying the hurtful or damaging word. I find a power within me when I choose not to follow the anti-Christian values in society, despite the cost this make exact from me and, or from my loved ones.
We are in the Season of Lent, where Christ chose to be powerless to that we could recognize the unconditional love God has for us. We anticipate the Easter Season, where we come to know the living presence of the Risen Christ accompanying us every day of our lives. I pray that I may always remember the Marvels the Lord has done for me and does for and with me each day.
O Christ Jesus, my Resurrection and my LIFE, grant that I may live now, not I, but may YOU live in me!
