    The Healing That Leads to Life

    We may be moving through life, yet inwardly unable to rise. The only way to be freed from this condition is through living faith—faith rooted in our baptism, where we were born of water and the Spirit. In baptism, Christ cleanses us, raises us, and calls us into a new way of life.

    Great and Holy Friday: Becoming Human in the Stature of Christ
