Resurrection for All?

Is Resurrection only for the innocent?
for Lazarus, little girls, and Christ?

No, we are promised ourselves Resurrection
of the body, our bodies, however imperfect
and our own souls, however imperfect
transformed by faith into Love
this is the greatest forgiveness.

Might we all be
no longer desiring or capable of harming others?
Might we all be
no longer afraid?

if all creation is redeemed,
then all lives can be,
have been,
will be redeemed?

Forgiveness does not obliterate justice but revenge.
