in the face of all these evils, as they spend more energy
calculating how to keep safe from lawyers than how to keep safe from
the wrath of God. But that's because it's Friday. Sunday's
comin'!
People of
God, hope doesn't mean that we ignore or minimize the evils around
us. It
means, rather, that we see the whole picture, which is that evil is
conquered because of what happened one Sunday
morning! The power of sin and death has been broken by
the Resurrection of Christ.
We
are called to proclaim, celebrate, and serve that victory, waiting
in joyful hope for Christ's return and the full flowering of the Culture of
Life!
Indeed, Sunday's
comin'!
