We are children of God through the power of the Father working in us. As we approach Holy Week, God’s word makes clear who Jesus is, and invites us to remember who we are.
Pope Francis once again pleaded for an end to the bloodshed and violence in Ukraine after images of innocent civilians apparently executed in Bucha sparked outrage and horror around the world.

Jesus liberates us and makes us God’s children. And if the Father of Jesus is our father, nothing can enslave us.
We have a Divine Medicine brought down to a small but potent dosage so we can handle it and it can handle us! That is what true spiritual symbols always do.
When all is said and done, Jesus means life or death, salvation or destruction. Our acceptance or rejection of Jesus is what determines the meaning and value of our lives.
In these days, we are being invited to share in the passion of Jesus, and in the aloneness and fear of all who have been hated and hunted down since the beginning of time.
The stone to be moved is always our fear of death, the finality of death, any blindness that keeps us from seeing that death is merely a part of the Larger Mystery called Life. It does not have the final word.
Jesus gives him two commandments yet treats them as one! He connects two disparate passages and makes them one and the same, love of God and love of neighbor
