The Entrance Antiphon to today’s liturgy invites us to “sing
to the Lord, for he has gloriously triumphed.”
We then pray: “The Lord is my strength and my might; he has become my
salvation, alleluia.” I was deeply
touched by t he word “is”. God is, not was or will be, but IS my strength and my might; He is my
salvation. The work of God is going
on every moment of every day, in every circumstance of my life today and
yours! Jesus has “gloriously triumphed,” that
is He is gloriously triumphing over
sin and death, over selfishness and greed, over deceit and jealousy, over anger
and moodiness, over faithlessness and hopelessness, over hatred, blindness and
deafness to the Spirit in my life right
now, right here! Jesus is making a
difference now! I am overcoming evil in my life right now because Jesus “has gloriously triumphed” in
His resurrection, in the sacrificing of His life, in becoming sin for us on
Calvary.
Yesterday I took a day off and went to see “Heaven is for Real.” Heaven and earth are one in the
resurrection of Jesus. Heaven and earth
are one in the Eucharist, when the Son of God descends upon our altars every
single day to feed us with the Bread of Life, the Living Bread, that wells up
into eternity making us more and more life Christ every day, reconciling us to
the Father, cleansing the Temple of our souls with this Living Water, this
Living Bread! Alleluia!
