Daily Reflections

The Passion of Christ compels us to love. But first we need to listen to the cries of the poor. We have to hear them, even when it make us uncomfortable.

While the origin of the word “repent” has to do with regret or penance, it also could mean to re-think.

Every time we experience Jesus, by grace, it is a kairos moment.

To follow Jesus involves making choices that make us uncomfortable, and can sometimes bring us into conflict with people, even people closest to us.

I see both of our readings for today looking at the implications of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Lord, send your Spirit more fully to love and live for you now and prepare for our eternal life to come. 

Our life does not consist of the things we have, but the love God has for us. And even that we cannot keep to ourselves, but is meant for us to share.

Prayer is not only asking God to do such and such a thing for us or for others, but being open to do what God is calling us to do.

For Luke, the infinite sweep of God’s love is for everyone. 

All creatures, even the smallest and seemingly most negligible, are prized by God; all things, even chattering sparrows, are loved through and through.
