Fully Human, Fully Alive
Details
“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
John 10:10.
In the Gospel of John, Jesus uses the image of a “Good Shepherd” to speak about His relationship with us. He watches over us. He knows each of us by our name. We know His voice and we follow Him because we trust In Him. And then in John’s Gospel, He tells us why He has come into our world, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Not just abundantly, but more abundantly. This mission of Jesus is repeated in the words of Saint Irenaeus in the 2nd century when he said, “The glory of God is mankind fully alive.” This is our vocation as Christians – to be fully human, fully alive.
During the retreat we will reflect on the challenge and wonder of being followers of Jesus who are called to be fully human, fully alive in our world today; and what it means to have life and to have it more abundantly; right where we are.
