We are the Song

We are the song of the the Heart. I wear a Claddagh ring that proclaims

with these hands, I present to you my heart and crown it with my love.

In the heart of the word, this Jesus God raised up, in every parable, in all the stories in every living witness. Resurrection is the foundation of the transformed life, therefore the heart is glad.

When we face  the moment of the empty tomb, there is terror, there is fear and there is proclamation at the impossible. We are protected by the power of the living God. In our faith and suffering we find salvation, new birth and our sacred humanity.

We hear that Jesus came stood among them. On Easter morning, there witness, commission, the curtain rises, we see the green room, where all the action happens, the grit, the grind and the grace.

We meet Thomas filled with doubt and there it so real we can taste it, the mystery of resurrection.

The gift of grace, the witness, the key to the heart.

God with us now!!!
