Daily Reflection
April 2, 2020
But as we move closer to the events of Pasion Week and the Triduum we know that such revelation will cause more than mere stones to be thrown at Jesus; rather his very life will be sought and his message and the revelation contained therein seemingly rejected.
But as the refrain reminds us ‘The Lord remembers his covenant forever’ – and we know that God will be faithful to the people even in their rejection of the Son.
Let us enter Holy Week with open hearts, open minds and an open heart that we might truly hear all that is promised to us in the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus.

A Passionist Prayer
April 1, 2020
from St. Paul of the Cross
"On the Holy Cross of our gentle Jesus are tasted the fruits of the tree of life. But they are not tasted in the feeling part of our nature and at times we cry out with Jesus, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mt 27:46). But let us accept God's will so that we can also cry out with Jesus, "Father, into your hands, I commend my spirit." (Lk 23:46)."
Lord, I know that during my most difficult times, I should turn to you with faith and an open heart. But, often, during my darkest hours, I feel as Jesus did on the Cross, lost and abandoned. Please, dear Lord, when you feel me slipping away at these difficult times, reach out to me with your love and mercy. And even when I feel that our Father has left me, give me the strength to trust that He is always there for me, I need only ask.
