Ask anyone who’s ever shoved aside the rock of life
and uncovered the light of God…
They’ll tell you a story…
About the power of hope, the power of faith, the power of love.
A story about transformation…
a story about what it’s like to die of suburban boredom,
or body addiction or emotional dismay…
only to be born again, be new again, live life again.
A resurrected life,
an eternal, never-ending life.
All because of Christ.
Hear their stories
and think of your own.
The event that changed you.
The influence that formed you.
The sacraments that save you.
Because, somehow, someway,
you too have brushed up against Christ
and, somehow, learned the truth about God.
Somehow, some way,
Fr. Jim Schmitmeyer.
