Joy

And having taken a cup when He had given thanks, He said"Take this and share it among yourselves". Luke 22:17
The Eucharist invites us to give thanks for His dying.
The constellation in the dark-grace, thanksgiving , joy.
Giving thanks in all circumstances.
We live in a world of sin injustice sorrow and beauty. The fall of man coupled with the beauty of creation. It is easy to give thanks and walk a life of gratitude in the sunshine of summer breezes, but so different in the injustice of human tragedy. God is in control. He paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Yet the world is full of pain, questions , anxiety. To truly experience joy we must understand what it cost Jesus on our behalf. The pain He bore to bring freedom, joy to us. The responsibility we carry to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. Bearing one another's burdens.Everyday.
Eucharisteo-whenever;now.Joy-whenever;here.
Three things I'm thankful for:
1. NLCC and the study we are doing about the Passion
2.Joy is waiting for me to grasp it
3.Freedom and peace in my country
