"When I was growing up I always wanted to be someone. Now I realize I should have been more specific." - Lily Tomlin

In God's eye's every human being is unique and uniquely loved; not just a somebody; not just a nameless face among the 'everybodies.' God's desire for relationship with us, his presence within us as an invitation to that relationship, confers upon our humanity a great dignity. We have been created in an extravagant gesture of unbelievable love; we have been created for love.
Members of the Body of Christ, we are called us into a new and radical way of understanding and of living that love. Like Mary, we are asked to bring the Christ within us to others. It is a very new and different kind of life because we are challenged to believe that the Risen Christ, though his Holy Spirit shared with us at baptism, is working in us and loving through us. And we are challenged to live, like Jesus, lives of compassion, of generosity and faithfulness.
We are challenged also to embrace lives of joy, joyful in the knowledge that our life is made new because it is imbued with God's meaning, God's purpose, awash with God's love. Christ is within you, offering you new life in relationship with him; working through you to bring God's life - God's love - to others. Blessed are you
