Today I went to Easter Mass with my parents. Anyone who knows me knows that I come from a traditional Catholic family, two great Aunts who were nuns, and a cousin who was studying to enter the priesthood before he passed. Being Catholic was all I ever knew...and its something I have been wrestling with over the last few months...but more on that later. What I wanted to share was the priest this morning gave an incredible homily (sermon) about the mystery of Faith, the mystery of Christ's death and resurrection. And he ended it with this story, written by a 14 year old boy. It wrecked me as I sat in mass this morning...wanted to share:
A Conversation Between God and Jesus.
God: "Welcome Home Son, I've missed you!"
Jesus: "Thank you Father, I've missed you too."
God: "Was it hard Son?"
Jesus: "As hard as nails"
God: "What was the hardest part son?"
Jesus: "The kiss in the garden Father."
God: "Was it worth it?"
Jesus: "Yes Father, they were all worth it, now we must help them all believe that THEY ARE WORTH it."
