“THE life that God prepares for us is not an embellishment of this life but it overcomes immensely our imagination because God always surprises us with his love and mercy. Saint Paul, in fact, says the sufferings of the present time can’t be compared to the future glory that will be revealed to us.
If we look at life from a human point of view we are inclined to say that our journey goes from life to death, but Jesus turns this perspective upside down and states that our earthly journey goes from death to life.: the true life that never ends.
Death is therefore behind us, and in front of us is the living God, the defeat of sin and death and the beginning of a new season of joy and light.
In recent years, in the Christian catacombs, where the first Christians were buried, archaeologists discovered a moving inscription in one of the tombs which said:
“My night has no darkness.”
Precisely because they believed in the light of the Resurrection.
