In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

I adore you with profound reverence.

I ask your pardon for my sins and the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful my immaculate

mother st joseph my father and lord my guardian angel and deceitful the true presence of jesus with us

in the blessed sacrament always takes on a special meaning.

But if it ever is to take on a special meaning, it's today during this octave of the celebration of the ultimate victory of Jesus, his resurrection from the dead.

And being sensitive to the whispers of the Holy Spirit, we ask the Holy Spirit, what is it that you want us to contemplate in light of this resurrection?

Obviously, this new evangelization is the obvious will of Christ.

It's been as well ever since the incarnation.

But we could almost take the liberty

that there is a greater urgency in this new evangelization.

Factually, we know what it is, but we meditate on what it involves.

First of all, is bringing Jesus Christ into the world in a new way.

It has a number of facets.

Those who are practicing must make Jesus the center.

That they need to come around to the truth that Jesus must be front and center

in their work, in their sufferings, in their recreation.

Another facet is is as moral relativism rages on and we have the same experience or at least a

similar experience as the first Christians that every facet of the gospel flies in the face of the culture.

In that pre-Christian culture, the gospel message was so radically different than anything they experienced, anything they learned.

And Jesus' timing on a natural level you could make a case was pretty bad.
