The Triumph of Love

The triumph of Love

Love has conquered death.

Jesus has risen. Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

 Yes, He is truly risen!

The tomb is empty. The cross enlightens the conscience.

The cross is glorious because Jesus is risen.

He draws us into his resurrection.

My heart is in celebration. I rejoice with joy.

My Redeemer is alive and dwell among us.

 

Through Him, with Him and in Him,

 I take up my cross to follow Him because

His love is an unshakeable strength.

I am no longer alone.

He accompanies me all the days of my life.

Oh, what a joy to have met Jesus, the Christ,

The one my heart loves. He is the one who revealed to me

The true face of my Father, the Father of us all.

 

With Jesus, the Son of the Living God,

I have received Love as an inheritance.

He has traced for me the road that leads to His Father.

He always precedes me, and I am surprised every time by

His presence so discreetly at my side.

Jesus draws me towards heaven.  He pulls me upwards.

 

To clothe Christ in His poverty of heart,

It is to step aside to make room for the divine.

To clothe Christ in His mercy,

Is to go to the end of Love, whatever the cost.

To clothe Christ in His gentleness,

is to uproot evil in oneself and in a wounded being.

To clothe Christ in His tenderness,

It is to comfort the broken and crushed hearts.

To clothe Christ in His justice,

is to become righteous under any circumstances.

To clothe Christ in His innocence and purity,

is to see the light in the eyes of the children of this world.

To clothe the suffering Christ so that the Kingdom may come,

It is to be silent voluntarily to be a peacemaker.

 To clothe Christ on the cross,

is to ask our Father to forgive

Those who have hurt us by their blindness.

Oh, what a joy to look at the cross of comfort.

His love fills me with joy and peace.

A peace, a joy that no one can take away.

Oh, what a joy to know we are loved by Christ.

My beloved in Christ,

Let’s shout for joy to the Lord and say aloud that

Jesus is alive. He is risen.

He is REALLY risen. Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

 

Peace and joy in the Lord.

Happy Easter!
