One with Christ

Right now I am retired from the public life and confined in the air-conditioned room due to the limitations of my heart. I had my bypass operation 15 years ago; then another operation due to colon cancer 9 years ago; and now, my heart works very little with an injection fraction of 25% only. This situation places me in the Paschal Mystery of Christ-- His suffering, death and resurrection.

I am convinced that all followers of Christ have to go through the public life and through the Paschal Mystery of Christ. I am now living the Paschal Mystery of Christ and it is Christ who gives the energy, the courage and the strength to go through it with patience and acceptance.
