The 2016 is over - the 2017 has arrived - and we have mastered a passage - as we have performed sooo many already in our life. Going from day to day is also a passage, a vow is also a passage like the Baptism, like Confirmation, like Birth and Death...
Every PASSAGE is more than important - as we look deeper - quite an interesting process:
A) We look back into the PAST - and 2016 is for us now PAST. The question arises:
what are we going to do with this PAST (and all what happened in it) ?
a) we keep the past as past - it's over !!!
b) we choose, what from the PAST we like to keep as a reality in 2017, as a great value.
c) we accept what we cannot change - some realities go on anyway in 2017
It may be good to remind us: We are not the founder of our life but surely the manager.
B) Looking forwards into 2017 - What are we going to do with this chance?
Plans, wishes, desires arise - to decide is an ART.
C) A PASSAGE is like a Bridge-Hill in Namibia or a shipping from shore to shore.
I propose a Bridge-Hill-Meditation:
In the past 2016 we have celebrated as Cath. Christians the Year of Mercy. The Church told us again and again "God is MERCY". But this means very clear: MERCY is poured out.
Poured out into the whole Creation (since the start of the Cosmos). And this is in our eyes a FACT, not a dream. Therefore we have the chance to make a passage: From our "Lord have Mercy" ( we asks for...) to our "God has given Mercy" (is already poured out). A very difficult passage! Is it possible to take "Mercy is poured out" a REALITY in 2017 ???
If YES - it's up to us to embody the already given Mercy as Jesus has done in his life.
It means: we don't ask for God's Mercy anymore; we take it as given and bring it where ever we get the chance.
God is like the sun - one sun-ray we call Mercy and are grateful for...
