Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Risen Lord,
Peace be with you!
This time of year carries two major aspects of significance for us at the Tulane Catholic Center: thanksgiving to God for the eternal gift of Christ's resurrection and the end of yet another academic year here on campus.
It is my hope that God's eternal gift is constant source of strength and guidance for all of you. I invite you to reflect on the meaning of the resurrection in your life and consider the words of Pope Francis:
How often does Love have to tell us: Why do you look for the living among the dead? Our daily problems and worries can wrap us up in ourselves, in sadness and bitterness ... and that is where death is. That is not the place to look for the One who is alive! Let the risen Jesus enter your life, welcome him as a friend, with trust: he is life!"
As Pope Francis points out, sometimes there is a temptation to look in the wrong places. At the same time, he reminds us that the search for true life does not concern a place, but a friend ... and a savior.
Padre Charlie
