Dream to be alive!

The fig tree in the parable Lk 13: 6-9 just grew where it was rooted. There was sunlight, water, nutrients ... and the fig tree was happy about it. But it had to dream about what it was meant to be. 

In the beginning there was dream and everything came to be. We too share the same dream. A ladder, pyramid, or a pillar may be symbolising our desire to ascend to the divine presence above. Yet, some others go deep inside caves to connect to the interior divine power. Whether it is above or within the human conscience want to make a meeting point with the divine. We do receive responses that guide us. These responses touch us deeply in our ‘mortal’ bodies. We can understand St Paul’s presentation of mortal body – spiritual body, physical man – spiritual/inner man, only when we get the difference between the life without grace and the life in the freedom of grace. “Body may be dead,” because it is not producing any fruit of grace. What we produce is sin, and then the grace may be seen as external. Once we are willing to live, grace, in fact, wells up from within. There is the seed of grace, the fountain of grace inside of us. “If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, then he who raised Jesus from the dead will give life to your own mortal bodies through his Spirit living in you.” If the life devoid of grace produces death and sin, the life welling up grace will produce fruits of Christ.
