“Salvation comes from our God, who is seated on the throne, and from the Lamb.” — Revelation 7:10
The saints remind us that holiness is not reserved for extraordinary people, but is possible for each of us through the grace of Christ. Like us, they experienced suffering, struggles, and uncertainty, yet they allowed the light of Christ’s Resurrection to transform the way they lived. Our trials are not simply obstacles to overcome; they can draw us out of ourselves, teach us to love more generously, and remind us of our need for God’s grace. Through the Resurrection, even our suffering can become an opportunity for growth and new life.
Perhaps the question for us this week is not simply, “Do I believe in the Resurrection?” but “Am I allowing the hope of the Resurrection to transform the way I live each day?”
