Live in hope.
From today’s Scripture: We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life.—Rom 6:4
The end of a job. The loss of a home. The overwhelming trap of addiction. Deep divisions within a family. There are many ways that you and I experience death, in a way. Something is lifeless, and we are devastated.
But, to Christians, death is not the final answer. Yes, this is most true at the time of death itself, but it is also true along the Way, day to day. We live with great hope, against all darkness, because God works miracles. What is dead can—and does—come to life! Healing, understanding, cure, acceptance; we trust God in all of it. The good will prevail.
Let us pray: God, you are the author of life. Help me see your presence always, even in the darkest spot in my life. Today, all day, give me hope.
