“Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.
Do our wounds draw attention to ourselves “poor me,” or do we allow them like Jesus, to glorify our Father in heaven, who CONTINUES to love us?

We, in our sinfulness, tried to silence the Word made Flesh by crucifixion…..Praise God we are not as smart and powerful as we choose to THINK we are!

1. Is Jesus “True God and True Man?” If You answer yes, proceed to question #2. If you answer no, welcome I’m glad you are here! Is it time yet to ponder the meaning of life, death and afterlife?

2. When Jesus picked the Twelve, did he not know that they would; not get it, make mistakes, sin, deny him, and betray him. If you answer yes, proceed to question #3. If you answer no, please return to question #1 specifically regarding the meaning of, ”true God” (Omniscience).
3. God knows we will continue making mistakes, but that has NEVER stopped Him from calling us. So what are YOU waiting for?

“For if we have grown into union with him through a death like his, we shall also be united with him in the resurrection” (Rom6:5)
This is THE week of all weeks when Love is clearly defined. This is not only the Lord’s journey, it’s also OURS. As each event unfolds this week;
1) Be aware of the thoughts and movements that surface in your heart
2) Understand such thoughts and movements - are they good or bad?
3) Take action by receiving the good and rejecting the bad

“I am troubled now. Yet what should I say?
‘Father, save me from this hour?’
But it was for this purpose that I came to this hour.” -John 12
Aah, maybe the focus is not so much on, “what have I done that deserves death,”
as,
“God’s love is so incomprehensible that to resist entering into His divine heart IS death!”

The Gospel is the all familiar, John 3:16, “For God so loved the world…”
WHEN will this actually become such a convincing reality in my mind, in my heart, that I am truly changed?

Love defined

1st reading offers us the 10 commandments and the Gospel has Jesus cleansing the temple.
What on earth is the connection?

We are quick to demand a sign from God.
Are we just as quick to offer God a sign?

Perhaps obedience in the practice of our faith.

If the Holy Spirit drove Jesus (the head) out to be tempted, do the members of the Church (the body) really think they will be exempt? Such moments will either strengthen us for the larger challenges of life, which WILL come our way, or they will simply be ignored, dulling our spiritual sensitivities. YOUR Attention please…click me
