The MBP Blog is back from Spring Break. We hope you enjoyed a truly blessed celebration with your family, friends and cherished ones!
In reading a recent issue of Magnificat, there was a reflection on The Year of Faith and conversion:
"For those serious about living by faith, conversion is something that must re-happen every day. ...Jesus always finds a way to break through our resistance. Pope Benedict writes that 'faith requires conversion, and that conversion is an act of obedience toward a reality which precedes me and which does not originate from me.' ...Moreover, [M. Gaudoin-Parker writes] 'conversion involves the transformation of all our fragmented experiences, all our disjointed and painful memories, all our divisive and frustrating moments of unachieved hopes, yearnings and dreams, as well as our failures and loss of self-esteem or sense of worth resulting from the destructive power of evil.'" -Peter John Cameron, O.P., Editorial, Magnificat
Contemplate how this passage relates to your own marriage. Couldn't it be said that within marriage there must be a never-ending process of daily conversion to Christ if we are to fulfill our sacramental vows with our spouse? Praise God for using our marriages to draw us closer to Him! We pray your hearts and marriages are on fire with love for our Lord during the Easter season and always.
