June 26, 2011: Losing Life to Save It – Michael Hidalgo

There is a mystery throughout the Bible that Richard Rohr refers to as The Paschal Mystery. That being that it is death that brings life. It is losing your life so that you can save it. Jesus sums it up by saying, “Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” Dying to live. So simple but so contrary to the way we see life.
