OPEN YOUR MINDS

Open your minds to receive the joy of the Risen Lord. The Resurrection is the central teaching of Christianity. It is the very core of Catholicism and the basis for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We find, according to the Lord, in the Old Testament of the prophets, the Psalms and the law of Moses(Torah) the reasons why Christ had to suffer. Now that he has truly risen and cannot suffer nor die in His glorious state, a state he has promised to us, we rejoice and live filled with hope of what awaits us in the next life.

We can open our minds to receive knowledge from God in diverse ways. The first way is by using our natural reasoning ability to learn more about Christ from the Sacred Scriptures and the Catechism of the Church. Another way of learning is by means of the Gift of Knowledge when God ‘downloads’ data into our minds concerning divine mysteries. When we pray to the Holy Spirit to illumine our minds we are in search of this sublime Gift. As a consequence, it bolsters our hope and trust in God and His plan for us.
