Ice on the side of the road that I passed on this morning's walk.
The Greek word "pneuma" means both "spirit" and "breath." That's helpful to know as we continue to meditate on the appearance of the Risen Christ to the disciples on Easter evening. "He breathed on them and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit (John 20:22.) Resurrection makes it possible for Christ to share with them and with us his very own Breath/Spirit. In this way he gathers all of us into the life of the Trinity. We are caught up in the Love that swirls among Spirit, Son, and Father. Because of our new life Jesus is able to say to us "As the Father has sent me so I send you." The Risen Christ really lives in us and through us continues to do the Father's work in our world.
During the evil virus, we ask the Holy Spirit to show us what Love wants us to do and to give us the stamina to do it.
