For while we live, we are always being given up to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh. – 2 Corinthians

When we practice resurrection it is not a masochistic seeking of suffering, nor is it Pollyanna-ish looking on the bright side of life. It is nothing other than real participation in Paschal Mystery.  In small and large ways we are given up to death. And we are raised with Jesus.
