GET REAL - PARISH RENEWAL
Sunday, February 24 thru Wednesday, February 27, 2008
Fr. Hugh Dominic Burns, O.P.
(Religion with two feet on the ground)
Christianity is about Reality. It is where the reality of God and the reality of
our lives meet.
Our religion is not an escape from reality. It plunges us directly into the
nitty gritty of everyday life armed with the secret to survival - the grace of a
loving and merciful God.
In Jesus, God became one of us - human just as we are. He tasted our joys and
felt our frustrations. He endured our pain and even our death. His life and
words direct us through the maze of life’s confusions, trials and challenges.
His resurrection pours out the power we need not only to survive but to thrive
and triumph. The GOOD NEWS is that WE CAN make it!
