Meditation in Ernescliff College by Fr. Eric Nicolai, priest of Opus Dei, March 13, 2021/

There are punishments in the Bible, like the flood, the plagues, and they always have a pedagogical purpose. Like the serpents that bit people in the dessert, God told Moses to fashion a bronze serpent so that people could gaze on it and be cured. So the son of man would be lifted up on the earth, s that we would. gaze on him and be cured. Pope Francis said that the painful things we experience are painful, they make us suffer, but they should not only make us complain. Big ones or little ones, can be an opportunity for us to embrace them, and grow. 

The origins of the devotions to the sorrows and joys of Saint Joseph. Then the seven Sundays of Saint Joseph.

Music:  Handel opera, Rinaldo, Aria Lascia che io pianga, arranged for guitar by Bert Alink.
