Walking with the Risen One

Jesus is looking for women and men to whom he can pass on his life, because it means once again saying words of eternal life through us. I would like others, when they see us, to have the same sensation as the apostle Peter: the amazement of having found someone who speaks in silence. Someone who will never, ever use violence for love.
Today more than ever people feel the desire to convert, but they cannot find anyone living; he finds many preachers, many illusionists, many people who point fingers, but they don't find a living person.

The Lord knocks on the door of our heart, even if he is disappointed, and asks us: do you want to abandon me too, or do you want me to find a home in you? The true yes is not that of emotion, of fear, but that of those who leave their hearts free and can only say: who will we go to?
Only you have words of eternal life, and only with you can I encourage the discouraged, help the doubtful, listen to a confidence while keeping it with me; only with you can I accept a tear and make it become hope.

We can continue to live as alive and give our time every day even if we are tired.
We can persist in continuing to say yes, even if discouragement can overtake us at any moment. Only with the Living, do we find life even where there are scandals, wars, hunger, injustices, misery...
This is the path to recognizing the Risen One. Holy Easter friends!
