Deuteronomy
30:15-20 / Luke 9:22-25
Jesus talks about the cross
Pick it up daily and follow me
A young man had just hiked across a long,
barren stretch of land.
Reporters asked what he found hardest about
it. Was is the loneliness?” “No,” he replied.
Was it the hot sun beating down on you?” No,”
he replied.
Was it the dangerous nights by the roadside?”
“No,” he replied.
“Well, then, what was it?”
“The sand in my shoes”, he said.
That's often the case in everyday life, also.
It’s not always the big things that get us down; more often, it’s the tiny
irritations.
Thursday After Ash Wednesday - Liturgical Prayers
Introduction
Faithfulness is
not easy except if we are intensely committed to a person we love. If we are
loyal, we share in the joys and trials of the other person and we never lose
our serenity or basic happiness. This is also true in our relationship with
God, which we live most intensely if we are strongly dedicated to Christ. We
follow him in his passion to rise with him in joy. For if we are with him, even
death brings life and happiness.
Story for Lent- Hedgehog
Fable of the Hedgehog
Do you have people in your life who annoy the hell out of you? Sure you do, none of us are perfect – but if we learned to live with the imperfections of our fellow man, we could all benefit in some way or another.This fable explains it perfectly.
March 4-9: Weekday Reflections
March 4 Monday (St. Casimir):
Mk 10:17-27: 17 And as he was setting out on
his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher,
what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you
call me good? No one is good but God alone. 19 You know the commandments: `Do
not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do
not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'” 20 And he said to him, “Teacher,
all these I have observed from my youth.” 21 And Jesus looking upon him loved
him, and said to him, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you have, and give to
the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 At
that saying his countenance fell, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great
possessions. 23 ..27
Season of Lent
Lent is a season
of soul-searching and repentance. It is a season for reflection and taking
stock. Lent originated in the very earliest days of the Church as a preparatory
time for Easter, when the faithful rededicated themselves and when converts
were instructed in the faith and prepared for baptism. By observing the forty
days of Lent, the individual Christian imitates Jesus’ withdrawal into the
wilderness for forty days. All churches that have a continuous history
extending before AD 1500 observe Lent. The ancient church that wrote,
collected, canonized, and propagated the New Testament also observed Lent,
believing it to be a commandment from the apostles. (See The Apostolic
Constitutions, Book V, Section III.)
