BEFORE YOU, FATHER, EVEN THE DEAD LIVE
THE God more stronger than death "raise us up to new and eternal life" (I read), and is so humble to be considered an integral part of his friends and himself to the point qualify through the names of all those who have lived in friendship. He recalls, in fact, their names next to that of Isaac, and pronounce my name and all together with that of Jesus, the first of the resurrected, and with each man has made a deal, "gave for his grace, eternal comfort and good hope "(II reading).
The bond between God and us is the decisive point, our part of his life. God Himself is our life, "all live to him" and he lives in us. It lives in me, because the beloved is the life of lovers. The goal of human life that seems to go from life to death in Christ Jesus, however, was reversed: from death to life goes on man's pilgrimage. Our death is behind is behind, not in your face. In front of me is the God of the living. From this sanctuary of God which is the earth, the gates of death open to the outside, but on what is open? Life! Where God is Father. He is the "God of the living."
