The Last Bit.

An Easter Vigil Meditation.

Yesterday I wrote about the Passion of Jesus and how we all have our own mini-passions.

Most of our mini-passions are just that they are mini. Some reading this may be undergoing trials which will ultimately end in death and hence they may seem to be pointless. I will get to that but I want to meditate a little on our garden variety passions. Losing a significant-other, losing a job, losing to death someone close to us, sickness and the like.

Have faith, God has something in mind for you. Things seem dark (this is not the place for cliches don't worry) but God has a plan. That plan may be a better job, a better person to serve as a companion, the determination to carry on in someone's name to do great things.

Garth Brooks sings a song called "Unanswered Prayers". He sings about praying to God to make a "girl his". The prayer, it seems, is never answered. Later on the character in the song comes to realize the reason God did not seem to answer the prayers is because God had better things in mind. Indeed.

Those suffering life threatening passions I can not say more than to exhort you to be an inspiration to others. I have never been in such a position and to claim great wisdom in such affairs would be a despicable lie. Have faith and inspire is all I can say.

Have faith, accept your passions and realize the willing acceptance of your passions leads to glory. Just the same as the Passion of Jesus led to his Glorious Resurrection.

Good Night, God Bless & May the Risen God Bless You and all about You!
