Learning to resuscitate

On the daily paths of our lives

Where he precedes us and waits for us,

Jesus teaches us to resuscitate.

For the Resurrection is not a final state

Which would come brutally to our death:

It's an outbreak, a breakthrough.

Jesus teaches us to resuscitate because we learn to resuscitate

How you learn to take your first steps and stand up.

Following Jesus, to live is to learn to resuscitate:

It's learning to live as a man and a woman,

Every day, in a human way, quite simply,

It's learning to give of yourself, it's learning to believe

That God dedicates himself to the happiness of the world.

It is learning to hope that life has a meaning

And that death is a passage,

It's learning to love in the way of God,

To listen to the Spirit of God in us.

It's learning to get away from evil,

To share with everyone what is necessary for life,

To refuse situations unworthy of human beings, it is to struggle,

Do not be silent when the quality of life is at stake and that of

love,               

It's learning to live according to the Gospel

Because this is the path set by Jesus

And by which he precedes us,

In order to introduce us into the Resurrection!
