A Resurrected Lord or THE Resurrected Lord? There is only one.

Frankly, the culture brings us closer and constantly reminds us of the sacrafice He made for us. All of it is a reminder of Him.

I agree with you Des. So many of these cultural practices reminded us of Jesus throughout the day. Pausing at noon to say the Angelus, the whole class stopping a lesson to pray when we heard an ambulance siren, writing AMDG and JMJ on our papers, blessing ourselves when we went by a Catholic church. It was a constant reminder that Jesus is Lord and our lives should constantly reflect that belief.

I recently talked with my cousins daughter who had just graduated high school and was thinking of going to a Catholic college to study Theology. I asked her if she was born again and she said she wasn't. It doesn't sit well with me that a girl raised up in a Catholic church, and educated in Catholic schools, doesn't understand one of the most important teachings of Christ. That is the same thing I experienced as a child. The church makes you so afraid of anybody who is not a Catholic that you think they are some kind of devil. The fact is many persons in other churches have a tremendous relationship with Jesus, knowing his word and will often better than those who have sit for a lifetime hearing priests who never say to them "you must be born again."
