Christians understand that suffering and death are things we experience throughout our lives, but the Paschal Mystery is that suffering and death lead to resurrection. What that means for us is that the death of one thing will lead to new life in something else! With that in mind, here’s your REAL Conversation for the week:
What new life has come from the loss of something else?
Answer this question with your family. Use it as a conversation starter to think about how you can improve yourselves. While you’re doing this, remember what we St. Paul wrote to the Christians in Corinth: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. ~2 Corinthians 5:17
Christ promises us new life on the other side!
