Easter Vigil

Alleluia, He is Risen from the dead, Alleluia!

Good Friday

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! 

Holy Thursday “The Lord’s Supper”
April 5, 2012

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?

Palm Sunday

“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

Fifth Sunday of Lent
March 24, 2012

“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!”

Fourth Sunday of Lent
March 17, 2012

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

Third Sunday of Lent
March 10, 2012

1st reading offers us the 10 commandments and the Gospel has Jesus cleansing the temple.

What on earth is the connection?

Second Sunday of Lent
March 3, 2012

We are quick to demand a sign from God.

Are we just as quick to offer God a sign?

Sacrament of reconciliation, Sunday 3

Perhaps obedience in the practice of our faith.

First Sunday of Lent
February 25, 2012

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

 

Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
February 18, 2012

God is not happy when His people suffer, regardless if the suffering comes from one’s own bad choices or as a result of living in a fallen world.

This weekends Gospel demonstrates the life-changing power of true friendship, when our friends stop at nothing to position us before the Lord!
