My family and I just returned a couple of days ago from a week in Puerto Aventuros, Mexico. The time there on the beach with my family proved to be one of the most refreshing and rejuvenating vacations I've ever experienced. If you can believe it, I was fully unplugged- no cell phone, voicemail, Internet, or e-mail. After one day of withdrawal- twitching fingers and anxiety attacks- I settled into a new mood for vacation.
Our Lord promises to refresh every day of our lives in the love of Jesus Christ. Each day, the gospel reminds that God loves us and forgives us in Christ.
This Sunday we will gather to celebrate the most refreshing and rejuvenating act of God ever offered to all humanity and the world. God raised Jesus from the dead, giving us victory over sin and death forever.
My prayer is that God will always refresh you in your life of faith. Whether you are on a beach or in the thick of daily life, may our Lord offer you grace and love to refresh your soul.
