Probably best known as the patron of many Christian Brothers’ schools, Saint John Baptist de La Salle originally had no intention of working with youth or founding a religious community. He saw himself as a comfortable diocesan priest. But God had other plans, and Saint John responded wholeheartedly.
Today’s responsorial refrain highlights God’s faithfulness. The promises God made are fulfilled differently now than they were at the beginning, but the Lord is still with us faithfully and forever.
Most Christians would probably be slow to admit that by these criteria almost all of us would have opposed Jesus.
I like the idea of an enthused God. It stands in meaningful contrast to the stern judgmental Old Testament God of my youth. I lack the gift of enthusiasm but witness it through some loved ones blessed with that gift.
This week, we enter into Holy Week with the celebration of Palm Sunday. In the Gospel, we recount the narrative of Jesus’ passion and death.
Archbishop Domenico Sorrentino of Assisi, Italy, brought a first-class relic of Blessed Carlos Acutis to a Catholic high school on Long Island April 4 as he began a five-day tour with the relic.
The story of Saint Crescentia Hoess is a twist on the story of rags to riches. Born into material poverty, she eventually rose to true spiritual wealth. But not without many obstacles, including a number of physical ailments.
Luke remains consistent to the characteristics he’s highlighted all through his Gospel. He especially depicts Jesus’ concern for those on the margins of society–shown as the Lord heals in the Garden, comforts the weeping women, forgives his executioners, and welcomes the repentant thief.
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.
