I read this quote by Sr. Joan Chittister on my friend’s blog tonight and it grabbed my heart. Yesterday was a day of reflection. What has changed in our hearts and lives these past 10 years? If we have been redeemed from the grave, are we living any differently? I thought of my African friends earlier today too. I wonder what is happening in their lives and if they are nearing the grave as hunger, war, and the drought threaten their existence. How come I get off so easily?
Joan’s words are a challenge to me. If I have been redeemed from the grave, what am I to be doing? The photo is of a memorial in Burundi that I stopped at en route to one of the peace ministries. Tutus from a nearby boys’ school had been massacred on that spot the day after the presidents’ plane was shot down. What do I do with my life is a question that needs to be answered sooner than later. Have you answered it honestly lately?
Peace,
Suzanne
