Christ will raise us up "on the last day"; but is is also true that, in a certain way, we have already risen with Christ.
- CCC No. 1002
Reflection: The life of the Christian is "already but not yet." The work of Christ on our behalf is finished and in so many ways we experience that victory, but our earthly trials continue to bring us to our knees. We live with one foot on earth and one in heaven.
Prayer: Jesus, help us to move beyond the limits of this earthly life to experience, even now, the graces you have won for us.
