A Breath of Joyful Life
America Magazine contributors Guillermo Acero, Mike James, and Mary Elizabeth Sperry tell us a story of evangelization powered by God's Word in Scripture, as envisioned by the Latin American Church, in conjunction with Pope Francis (then Archbishop of Buenos Aires). The article begins:
In Ezekiel 37, the prophet sees a field of dry bones that come together with sinews, flesh, and skin, yet have no life. The bones do not come to life until Ezekiel prophesies—sharing the word of God, filling them with the Spirit that gives life. Following Ezekiel’s example, in recent years the church has called upon all who serve in the church to breathe the Word of God into their work, giving these ministries new life and purpose in Jesus Christ. This “breathing in” or “enlivening” is called “Biblical Animation of all Pastoral Life.”
