Daily Meditation: In Memory of Jesus and the Saints

Tuesday November 12, 2013    In Memory of Jesus and the Saints   Belonging to the communion of saints means being connected with all people transformed by the Spirit of Jesus.  This connection is deep and intimate.  Those who have lived as brothers and sisters of Jesus continue to live within us, even though they have died, just as Jesus continues to live within us, even though he has died.   We live our lives in memory of Jesus and the saints, and this memory is a real presence.  Jesus and his saints are part of our most intimate and spiritual knowledge of God.  They inspire us, guide us, encourage us, and give us hope.  They are the source of our constant transformation.  Yes, we carry them in our bodies and thus keep them alive for all with whom we live and work.     Comment on this Daily Meditation.
