"My beloved brothers and sisters be cautious... The resurrection, as a divine action, is a great responsibility.  This divine mystery will never work in us unless we realize that the resurrection is an action of life and a message we accept now to live it and preach it and we do not wait for it in the last day as Mary and Martha (John 11:24).  Therefore the more pain for those who tred on the Kingdom path, the more the resurrection of Christ is manifested for and in them and they become true witnesses for the one who was crucified and risen. "

"How do we practically live the resurrection? First, by our connection with Christ directly in a personal relationship based on love, faithfullness and obedience.  Second, by our inner foresaking and estrangement of the lust of world and disconnection of whatever ties us in it, therefore the power of resurrection will flow in us and we move from the death to the life."
