Father Paul Check joins us for a discussion of the seven last words of Jesus. From the cross, Jesus continues to teach us even as he is dying.

Father Paul Check joins us for a primer on Good Friday. We begin with the basics, Who was Jesus and why did he die on a cross? And we move into deeper waters as we discuss what all of this has to do with us, today.

"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Some of Jesus' last words on the Cross.

Why those words? The answer lies in Psalm 22. Richaél Lucero gives a run through of this prophetic Psalm. Listen and hear how it parallels the Passion of Christ with eerie detail. You'll also learn the answer to the pressing question: why did Jesus speak those words on the Cross? And was he communicating a bigger message?

Week 7 | Psalm 143 [142]

#letuspray

 

A Psalm of David.

143 Hear my prayer, O Lord;give ear to my supplications!    In thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness!2 Enter not into judgment with thy servant;    for no man living is righteous before thee.

3 For the enemy has pursued me;    he has crushed my life to the ground;    he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.4 Therefore my spirit faints within me;    my heart within me is appalled.

5 I remember the days of old,    I meditate on all that thou hast done;    I muse on what thy hands have wrought.6 I stretch out my hands to thee;    my soul thirsts for thee like a parched land. Selah

7 Make haste to answer me, O Lord!    My spirit fails!Hide not thy face from me,    lest I be like those who go down to the Pit.8 Let me hear in the morning of thy steadfast love,    for in thee I put my trust.Teach me the way I should go,    for to thee I lift up my soul.

9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies!    I have fled to thee for refuge!10 Teach me to do thy will,    for thou art my God!Let thy good spirit lead me    on a level path!

11 For thy name’s sake, O Lord, preserve my life!    In thy righteousness bring me out of trouble!12 And in thy steadfast love cut off my enemies,    and destroy all my adversaries,    for I am thy servant.

It is the Monday after Easter, maybe you are feeling like you aren't sure where to go on your journey...

Today, I am thinking about a verse from Mark 16 that we heard at the Easter Vigil.  My thoughts revolve around the image of the rising sun that Mark tells us about in the passage.  I hope this helps you journey into the gift that is the resurrection. Happy Easter!

No guest today, but Cy gives a brief review of what happens on Holy Thursday. The day involves the holy oils, the priesthood, the establishment of the Eucharist, and more. It’s a big day for Catholics, much more than just the end of Lent.
