February-Novena Our reflection from the readings this week is:

“This is my body which is given for you.”

The ultimate Christian act is to risk our own comfort, convenience or even life for the sake of others. We recognize it when we see it in service personnel.

Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion

1st Reading: Is 50:4–7
The Lord Yahweh has taught me so I speak as his disciple and I know how to sustain the weary. Morning after morning he wakes me up to hear, to listen like a disciple. The Lord Yahweh has opened my ear. I have not rebelled, nor have I withdrawn. I offered my back to those who strike me, my cheeks to those who pulled my beard; neither did I shield my face from blows, spittle and disgrace. I have not despaired, for the Lord Yahweh comes to my help. So, like a flint I set my face, knowing that I will not be disgraced.

Daily Living for Holy Week

Reflections from the Shrine

Holy week is the holiest time in our tradition. On Palm Sunday, we honored Jesus as King. We recognized him as the “one who comes in the name of the Lord” to make God known among us. Though king, Jesus humbled himself to make God known to us (Phil. 2:8).

Our reflection from the readings this week is:

“Whichever one of you has committed no sin may throw the first stone.”

Everything is meant for our good, even sin. Once we confront the sin in ourselves there is no room for arrogance anymore, no room to be judgmental of others.

4th Week of Lent

1st Reading: Jer 11:18–20
Yahweh made it known to me and so I know! And you let me see their scheming: “Take care, even your kinsfolk and your own family are false with you and behind your back they freely criticize you. Do not trust them when they approach you in a friendly way.”

But I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter. I did not know it was against me that they were plotting, “Let us feed him with trials and remove him from the land of the living and let his name never be mentioned again.”
