Reflection for Easter

As we move through the section of the course that addresses the classic work by Pope John Paul II Love and Responsibility it is important to remember that the essential human quality that draws us all together is our desire to love and be loved.  This is what draws us to God and allows us to accept his grace into our hearts.  I just finished a fantastic little book entitled Atheist to Catholicism: Stories of Conversion.  Rebeccal Vitz Cherico tells the story of eleven converts from Atheism who became Catholics.  The one overwhelming thread of similarity in all their stories is the role that people played in the decision.  People in their lives, people whose writings inspired them, people that they shared a brief encounter with at a time when they needed some sign or direction.  As we celebrate the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ; lets be conscious of our role in the lives of the people around us.  Can I be that person for someone else?
