As the latest Gallup report shows, we are no longer or Christian or a moral people.  Welcome to Mission Territory.

Like Dark Energy, God cannot be measured with scientific instruments . . . but his effects are very clear. 

The period between Death and Resurrection is one of stillness and waiting in our world, but Jesus doesn't rest . . . 

When Jesus says to them, "You will all fall away” (Matthew 26:31), he’s not speaking only to his Apostles, but to all of us who have been his disciples in the millennia since, as well as all those in the years  to come.

When Jesus takes on the servile task of washing the Apostles’ feet at the Last Supper, He doesn’t simply speak but acts out his message, in the manner of an Old Testament prophet.  He is showing the Apostles through his example that the purpose of their office is to serve, and not to exalt themselves.

Jesus came to save us from true slavery - slavery to sin.

Why do Sunday's "Hosannas" turn to "Crucify Him" by Friday?

Mary’s willingness to give up herself to be a part, perhaps the greatest (solely) human actor in God’s Great Drama of Salvation, is the big picture; as is often the way, there’s a little picture, too, a way in which the Annunciation is reflected in our own lives.  God has a plan for all of us.

We need to help prepare the Church to keep the sacraments available, especially the Eucharist, the next time there's a "Covid Crisis."  And there will be a next time.

In today's world we need the example and intercession of St. Joseph, human Father of Jesus, more than ever. The Litany of St. Joseph is the perfect way to build up our relationship with him.  You can find the full text of the prayer in my post at: https://spesindomino.wordpress.com/2021/03/18/the-crisis-of-fatherhood-and-the-litany-of-st-joseph/
