“Echoes of Eternity: Living the Resurrection’s Call”
“For the Souls in Purgatory – Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord”
Revelation 5:11-14
I looked again and heard the voices of many angels who surrounded the throne and the living creatures and the elders. They were countless in number, and they cried out in a loud voice:“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor and glory and blessing.” Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, everything in the universe, cry out: “To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor, glory and might, forever and ever.” The four living creatures answered, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
Grace Prayed For
Pray for the grace to fully embrace the reality of the Resurrection, allowing it to transform your heart into a living testimony of Christ’s victory, and to empower you to lead others into this divine chorus of worship and discipleship.
Reflection
In this vision from Revelation, we are drawn into a celestial scene where countless angels and all of creation lift their voices in unison, proclaiming the worthiness of the Lamb who was slain. This profound act of worship is not confined to the heavens; it beckons us, here and now, to participate in this eternal song.
The Resurrection of Jesus is the pivotal event that transforms despair into hope, death into life. By conquering the grave, the Lamb has secured for us not only salvation but also a mission. The universal acclamation of Christ’s worthiness underscores the global scope of the Gospel—a message meant for every creature under heaven.
As recipients of this transformative grace, we are commissioned to echo this heavenly praise on earth. Our lives become testimonies to the power and love of the risen Christ. In fulfilling the Great Commission, we invite others to join this divine symphony, guiding them to recognize and worship the Lamb who reigns eternally.
Embracing this call requires us to live in the reality of the Resurrection daily. It challenges us to reflect the glory, honor, and blessing attributed to the Lamb in our interactions, decisions, and priorities. By doing so, we not only draw others into discipleship but also deepen our own intimacy with Jesus, aligning our hearts with the perpetual worship of heaven.
Growing in Intimacy/Union with Jesus
By actively participating in the mission of the risen Christ, we align ourselves with the heart of God. Engaging in worship, proclaiming the Gospel, and making disciples are not mere duties but avenues through which we experience the presence and power of Jesus more profoundly. As we mirror the heavenly worship in our earthly lives, we draw nearer to the Lamb, deepening our relationship with Him.
When Time Allows Reflect on the Posts in Library and Musings
Sharing
Jesus last words on Earth were to his disciples, can be found in Matthew Chap 28 when Jesus told his disciples, “Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”
Jesus calls all of us to share in his redemptive mission here on Earth. I would ask you to share this Scripture reflection with your family, your friends and your acquaintances, and then share it with a couple of individuals that you may may not be comfortable sharing with, keeping in mind always the words of Jesus, And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age
