If we reflect within our hearts the meaning of this great feast, we can focus on what we must do to be with Christ forever. We are to continue the work of those who have gone before us and help build up Christ's kingdom. In a world full of expectations, with disappointments and frustrations, we turn sorrow into happiness by being His comforting word. What we are, speaks more loudly than either what we say or what we do. He is counting on us. Our prayer is that He will renew within us the work of the Spirit so that we may know what is true and have the strength to do what is right.
