The Spirit frees : TOWARDS LIGHT

Wednesday in the II Week of Easter

Acts 5: 17-26; Jn 3:16-21

From the prison to freedom,  from the chains to an unfettered spirit,  from fear to total commitment. .. the Spirit strengthens one to walk towards the light! At times truth hurts and at times it costs much,  but if in the Spirit, we would count nothing too demanding.

People like Bro. Mario of Chalakudi fame who have risked their lives for the sake of Christ in their lives are living illustrations of the episode from Acts that we read today. Another youngster in my life who has inspired me is one known to me who chose to be a Christian and chose to become a priest and threw his engineering post in a firm and disappeared from his family to join a religious congregation, because they were mad at him in the family.

If I have the courage to see the Truth,  accept it and live for it,  nothing can stop me, not even death;  because I have within me eternal life.
