Throughout this day I attended those four beautiful words, live on in me. These words also put me in communion with my parents and all the beloved ones in my life who have died. I called out to them, "Live on in me." I remembered those who died heroic deaths in their stand for justice. To them I cried out, "Live on in me." I believe that the glory of their lives, even now can energize and heal me in my efforts to live as Christ in the world today.
