Acts 4:32-37 ><}}}}*> + <*{{{{>< John 3:7-15
Praise and glory to you, my Lord and my God, Jesus Christ! Your Resurrection remains a mystery that is so beyond descriptions and reasons because it is of another dimension, of another world; yet, I am so convinced of its truth and reality because I have experienced you so many times in simple occasions in life that deep inside, I burst with joy and conviction like Thomas and the disciple you love.
Grant me the grace, dear Jesus, to level up in my understanding and looking at things in myself and around me; help me to level up, to be "born from above" as you have told Nicodemus:
Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not understand this? Amen, amen, I say to you, we speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony. If I tell you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?”
John 3:10-12
By your Resurrection, you have paved the way for us to enter into new levels of living, of seeing things like "the community of believers who were of one heart and mind, and no one claiming any of his possessions as his own as they had everything in common"; most of all, "there was no needy person among them" as they cared for one another (Acts 4:32-34).
Continue to transform me, dear Jesus, deepen my faith in you by further going down in humility and simplicity to be uplifted in you on your Cross. Amen.
