▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ VIRTUS TRAINING June 12 (Wednesday) 6:00 PM St. Joseph Catholic Center, Alexandria ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Raising the Dead to Life What if I told you YOU hold the power to bring the dead to life? Would you believe me? No, it’s not just poetic language. Whenever we look at the gospel stories, we’re asked to take what’s there, and see way beyond it – move it out into our lives. If we can’t do that, then what is the point? Jesus impressed the people with his physical raising of the widow of Nain’s dead son. It was an amazing evidence of his divine power and they recognized that “a great prophet has risen among us.“ Now, we have inherited Jesus’ Spirit, and we are called to raise others from death. We know from centuries of spiritual writing, reflection, and experience that there are many kinds of death. Every day, lives are being deadened by cruelty, abuse, alcohol and drug addiction. But perhaps the most horrific way we can deaden another person is by sexual violence, such as rape. We are especially outraged by the sexual exploitation of children. Maybe there is someone in your life who is particularly vulnerable in the world. Often we “blame the victim” when a young person does something wrong. But all of us are participating in the raising of the children around us, not just the birth parents. The good news is, you can interact with a child and have a profound effect upon the adult they become – just ask anyone who loved their coach or teacher. Some people need more raising to life, more affirmation, than others. But, just like Jesus, we can only take people as they come into our lives. When we feel ourselves moved with pity, let it be our call to action… to share our life with someone who needs to come alive again. Go in peace to love and serve our God ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
