Prophecies: Not a telling of the future so much as a telling of the way things will be if......
The way things will be if we continue to ignore our calling to be the living members of the Body of Christ in the world
OR
The way things will be if we live into this calling of sacrifical love that Jesus embodies.
This reading from Ezekiel is one of the prescribed readings for the Easter Vigil because it prophesies the Resurrection----new life begun where before there was only death. Notice the details:
Yes, God provides the life, but it is mortals who calls forth the breath that provides the new life. This is how Resurrection happens......God provides the breath/wind/spirit and humanity provides the Body.
God desires to use you today to breathe new life into something or someone who needs the breath of God blown into the midst of them. It may be the simple act of listening. It may be noticing one who needs help and providing that help. It may be giving your time or your talent or your treasure. It may be a lifted prayer.
God uses humanity in acts of Resurrection. Practice Resurrection today.
