From the desk of Fr. Daniel, c.m.m.
Allez dans le monde entier
C'est notre vocation à tous. Annoncer la Bonne Nouvelle à toute la création. Nous avons souvent l'impression que cela est réservé aux spécialistes des Saintes Écritures ou de la théologie. Mais en fait, cet appel est adressé à tous. Si nous sommes convaincus que Jésus est ressuscité d'entre les morts, si nous croyons que sa mort-résurrection nous sauve de la mort et nous ouvre à la vie éternelle, alors nous ne pouvons pas retenir nos voix. Il nous faut parler.
Tant de voix se lèvent pour proclamer la mort de Dieu. Tant de voix s'élèvent pour annoncer un message de mort éternelle qui ne conduit qu'au désespoir. Alors nous croyons que le Christ est vivant et qu'il est notre Sauveur: alors, disons-le sur les toits et par le monde. Disons-le à nos amis, à nos compagnons de travail. Mais disons-le de manière crédible, dans le respect et l'amour. Montrons-le par notre manière de vivre.
Go into all the world
It is the vocation of all. Proclaim the Good News to all creation. We often feel that this is only for specialists of Scripture or theology. But in fact, this call is addressed to all. If we believe that Jesus rose from the dead, if we believe that his death and resurrection save us from death and open to us eternal life, then we can not withhold our voices. We need to talk.
So many voices are raised to proclaim the death of God. So many voices to proclaim a message of eternal death that leads only despair. So we believe that Christ is alive and he is our Savior then, let's proclaim it on rooftop and around the world. Let us say it to our friends, our coworkers. But let's be credible, with respect and love. Let us show this by the way we live.
