TRANSFORMED INTO CHRIST

TRANSFORMED INTO CHRIST


Jesus Christ GAVE himself up-
For ALL of us


NOT just Catholics-not just Christians-
But for people of EVERY denomination=
Every race-every kind of human being
In this world


WHY?
Simple-because he LOVES YOU!


It is our job
To ACCEPT others and LOVE OTHERS=
Every kind of human being that there is


WE are called to RECONCILE
With others=just the way Jesus did=
With every kind of human being
That exists in this world


“Therefore-if you BRING your gift
To the altar


And there RECALL
That your brother
Has anything against you-


LEAVE your gift at the altar-
Go first-and be reconciled
….....


And then come
And offer your gift” Matthew 5:23-24


The question is:
WHAT are the gifts
We bring to the altar-
To be RECONCILED?


And are you AWARE that
You are bringing ANY gifts
At all?


Of course you are-
WE ALL ARE


We are bringing the CONSECRATED Christ
LIVING in our hearts


And we are bringing ALL the emotions
We FEEL in our heart-
About the RISEN Christ Jesus-and
About our brothers and sisters in Christ


Our JOY-our gratitude-
Our sorrow-and especially our WILLINGNESS
To be transformed into
THE RISEN CHRIST


To be sorry for our sins
To be RECONCILED with our brothers
And sisters in Christ-as well as Jesus
HIS own self


RECONCILED & TRANSFORMED into Christ


“As you are going
With your adversary
To the magistrate


TRY HARD-
To be reconciled
On the way


Or your adversary
MAY take you off
To the judge


And the judge
TURN you over to the officer
And the officer
Throw you into prison” Luke 12:58


BE RECONCILED
With your brother and sisters
LET your Father God-begin-
To TRANSFORM you into his
SON-Jesus Christ


“And we ALL
Who with unveiled faces


CONTEMPLATE the Lord's glory
ARE being transformed
INTO HIS IMAGE


Withe ever-increasing glory
Which comes from the Lord
Who is the SPIRIT” 2 Corinthians 3:17


STRIVE to find & LIVE
With the kind of AWARENESS
That TRANSFORMS you
Into a Christ-like-presence


Then RECONCILE yourself
With your brothers and sisters


And try to live like Christ
BE TRANSFORMED!


In Jesus' name
