Saving Our World

Note:  Today the computers at CCHS are working very slowly.  This slice of bread might not reach you until Saturday.

In this week before his actual arrest, passion and crucifixion, Jesus was in verbal conflict with the Jews who even wanted to stone him as they heard his claim to be the Son of God.  Jesus was there in their midst working signs and miracles yet still they did not believe. We find ourselves in such a world even today, which seems has not changed, except to get worse! .  Caryll Houselander, a very holy and gifted spiritual writer, speaks of the times in which she lived, the first half of the 20th century:
Looking at the world today, it is not easy to believe that everywhere Christ is born again, that God looks down on the wreckage and misery--the fiasco, if you like,--that we have made of the world, and seeing us in the midst of it says, This is my beloved Son!
How would Ms. Houselander describe OUR world today?   Yet, the truth is, that JESUS is the Savior, and works through US to continue his saving mission.  Houselander continues:  Our rest in a world that is full or unrest is Christ's trust in his Father, our peace in a world without peace is our surrender, complete as the surrender of the sleeping child to its mother, of the Christ in us, to God who is both Father and Mother.  May we turn over again and again our world to the Saving Power of Jesus.
