It's that time of year when haunted houses pop up everywhere. Sometimes it's the neighbor a few houses down, and sometimes it's a paid attraction. I have little interest in adding fear and anxiety to my life. I would much rather walk into a house where the peace of Christ surrounds me.
Imagine living in a world that doesn't want to increase our fears but instead takes them away. Imagine a world where people turn to God and trust His wisdom and love. Imagine a world where Jesus, Mary, and the saints walk among us and guide our steps. Imagine a world where everyone gathers in prayer, and your faith grows because of your neighbor's prayer. Imagine a world where the Gospel is not just a story in a book, but the driving force behind all your decisions.
This is the world I want in to live in. It sounds heavenly, and it is entirely possible. Jesus gives us His divine life and soul in every Eucharist we receive. Jesus said, "I came that they may have life and have it more abundantly." Jesus came to establish God's Kingdom here on Earth. There is no lock on the door to the Kingdom. Jesus has flung the gates wide open. Don't let any fears hold you back. Why celebrate your love of fear when you can celebrate the love of Christ?
