Today remember to bring to the Light of Christ in your actions!  

Dick Folger tells this cute story, every night of a play performance, the lead actor stood atop a small trapdoor on the stage floor and announced with flourish: “I descend into hell!”  At that moment the door would … open and he’d plunge down out of sight.  One night the (lead) actor became suddenly ill, so an overweight understudy was pressed into service.

When he said the line, the small door opened, the new actor plunged down — and got stuck halfway.  Unable to free himself, he looked helplessly out at the astonished audience and gave one of the greatest ad-libs of all time:

“Hallelujah! Hell is full!”

Well I hope that Heaven is not full when my journey here on earth ends. After reflection the early Christians realized that the Cross and the Resurrection are symbols that point to God’s love for us.  Jesus died to free us from the fear of death; His Cross reminds us of His love.  Signs and symbols mark our world, our country and our homes.

 

Photographs of earth taken from outer space remind us that we a tiny spec in the Universe yet loved by God.  The Statue of Liberty reminds us that we are a nation of immigrants whose generous hearts bear witness to God’s love for the stranger.


 

 

What (sign/symbol) in your home reminds you and your guests that Jesus is the center of your life? 

 



Spend a few minutes after you make the Sign of the Cross reflecting on what it means to you.

May God Be Blessed!
