The Cross – Dying That Leads to Life
The following two videos are part of a series of video reflections by Michael Whelan SM, on the paradoxical wisdom of the Paschal Mystery in our daily living. These reflections are supported and enhanced with images and relevant questions for personal reflection or group sharing.
The Rhythm of Life
There is a rhythm to life and at the heart of that rhythm is an interplay between living and dying. We see it everywhere. We know it in our own journey. There is a profound paradox in the death/life interplay; the surrender and letting go is a dying that allows us to live, the refusal to embrace the dying leads us away from life into death. Life is full of these moments where living and dying interact.
Daily Life Choices
The natural interplay between living and dying presents us, each day, with an amazing opportunity to live in harmony and become more authentic and more fully alive. Our daily choices will enable us to live our dying or to resist it and accumulate death; emotional, psychological and spiritual death that leaves us dysfunctional and struggling to truly live.
