All You Need is Love
by the Beatles (excerpt)
"There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy
...
There's nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy"

There's nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy"

Questions for the Soul
1) What are the lyrics trying to say?
It mentions that you can accomplish anything, and it's easy. What does that mean?
2) What does this have to do with hope?
How does it relate to Christ's resurrection?
3) How can you relate to this in your life?
How can I relate this to my personal problems? My personal successes?
4 )Was there a single point in your life which can relate to the experience of the disciples?
When you had a deep change from fear to great courage, from old life to new life, from doubt to faith?
For me, the lyrics were stating that anything was possible. If you do something, there will always be a time when you accomplish it. "It's easy", the lyric says. This means that it isn't too hard to accomplish something if you try. Speaking of hope, the lyrics were saying that anything can be done, and we need HOPE when we are going to do something. Hope guides us through our difficulties and struggles. We must always be loyal to hope because it is essential when we try to accomplish something.
In my life, particularly in everyone's life as well, we have a point in life wherein we reach a dead end and we can't go further. We are lost in the process of accomplishing something difficult and in the end we just give up. But there will always be hope. We will be needing hope to take away our struggles and dificulties.

A Prayer.
Let us put ourselves in the
holy presence of God.
Dear Lord,
in our lives today, please help us see you as a symbol of hope so that we may accomplish all our difficulties in our lives. Guide us through the process of heart changing so that we may view you as a model of faith and to strenghten our friendship bonds with you. Please help us find hope in all that we are going to face, that we may put them aside easily to have a good and meaningful life. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to ask you for help in finding hope in all that we are going to do. All of these we ask through you, our Lord God. Amen. |

Pulling it Together
His resurrection is one of the most important events of his life. Jesus, through his resurrection, revealed to us a number of things that is important to take note of. Firstly, his resurrection made all his teachings and miracles true and real, because his resurrection made people of his time believe that he really is the son of God. They now believed that he was God's only son, sent down to Earth, preaching to us the Good News of God, thus making them believe in all Jesus' teachings for he his the son of God.
But in order to see Jesus, a change of heart must be carried out. An example is the apostles of Jesus. From cowardly disciples of Christ, they soon became martyrs after seeing Jesus in his resurrected form. They started preaching about God and eventually the Church was established.
Lastly and most importantly, Jesus resurrected from Earth to give us a glimpse of HOPE. This was the sole purpose of his resurrection. He resurrected from his death, symbolizing that death is not the end of everything. Hope is something to look forward to. in the real world, you must never give up when you face different kinda of struggles. Simply look forward to HOPE, and it will guide you in putting aside all these struggles.
