Are you open to change?

Happy Easter! Celebrating the Easter Season invites us to change. As we celebrate the resurrection, we are reminded that Christ appeared to the early Christian community and invited them to change. While our Christian faith constantly invites us to learn and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ, in the Easter Season we are even more mindful that God is part of our journey of faith and always calling us into deeper relationship.

The first reading this Sunday shares with us the story of the community of believers shortly following Christ's resurrection. Suddenly the lives of these believers changed dramatically because of their experience of Christ in their lives. Imagine being in that place and time and the incredible gifts of courage and faith the early Christians must have been given so that they could give witness to God through their lives.

How is God inviting you to grow this Easter season? How are you called to witness the love of God in your life? Are you open to experiencing the risen Christ in your own life?
