“They forgot God who saved them” (Psalm 105, 21). To how many may not these words be applied today! How many there are who come into this world and pass beyond its bounds and never know the loving God who died to save them.
COMMENT: What Fr Willie wrote 100 years ago is even more apt for our world today. How many, even in traditionally Christian countries and even among the baptised, do not know the God who created them, who loves them, who died for them and who longs for them to spend eternity in His love!
What are each of us doing about this?

In light of Father Willie’s words and your comments, just read this from a Benedictine Abbot of happy memory. It connects today’s theme with our glorious Easter Season: “Earnestly desire to find Christ as Mary Magdalene did when she came to the sepulchre that first Easter morning. Her love was so great that no obstacle was too big to get in her way. But the only way to find Jesus is to look for Him. Jesus is never very far from hearts who sincerely desire Him…the Resurrection has within it a deep life-giving power…an inner experience when we undergo…If we are to be faithful to our vocation as Christians and to God’s design for our sanctification, our personal life must mystically reproduce in some measure, the life of Christ.”
