What the transformation is?

During this Easter season, as we continue to celebrate Jesus risen from the tomb, I would like to recall one of the readings during the Easter Vigil, when St. Paul compared baptism to going into the tomb with Jesus and rising again out of the tomb with the new life of Jesus (Rom 6:3-11). In baptism we die to an old way of life and rise with the life of Jesus. The more we let, anything in us die, that is not leading us to Jesus, the more we will have the life of Jesus in us.
We see in the lives of some of the saints the transformation, that occurred in them, when they turned fully to Jesus. St. Ignatius of Loyola and his brother Pedro lived a wild youth. But when Ignatius was injured in battle, he began reading the Life of Christ and lives of the saints. He noticed, that he had a sense of peace while he was reading these, but not when he turned his mind to other things. That was the beginning of his conversion, to bring all of his life under Christ. We see a similar transformation in the life of St. Augustine. He also led a wild youth. He moved to Milan, to take teaching position. While there he heard St. Ambrose preaching, but was not yet ready to give himself fully to the Lord. Finally, one day a line in Bible struck him so deeply, that he was able to give his life totally to God (Rom 13:13-14; Confessions 8:12). Earlier he would have described his life in this way: “Lord make me chaste, but not yet” (Confessions 8:7), but now after his conversion: “You have made us for yourself O Lord and our hearts are restless, until they rest in you.” (Confessions 1:1)
In the heart of all of us there is that longing for God, that St. Ignatius and St. Augustine experienced. Some people try to satisfy it with their an old way of life, instead of acknowledging, that a problem is crying out to Jesus for his wholeness.
If anyone loves me he will keep my word,
and my Father will love him,
and we shall come to him and make our home with him.
