Oneness with Christ

April 16, 2023
Anyone who responds to the ‘Alleluia’ with the sheer experience of oneness with Christ has understood the Resurrection. Those who have not yet experienced this union should have no doubt, no hesitation, that God is calling them to this experience as well. God is calling us, especially through our liturgical celebration of his Resurrection, to become what Holy Baptism has already made us: It is the sheer gift of God. Eternal life has begun in us. We are the children of God, incorporated into Christ's body. The Holy Spirit dwells in us. All our sins are forgiven. The darkness of our ignorance and the weakness of our will are being healed. And if anything is lacking to us, Christ, who is interceding for us at the right hand of the Father, will give us that too!
– from Awakenings, by Father Thomas Keating, OCSO (1923–2018)
