We are witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus

Gospel: Luke 24: 35–48
You are witnesses of these things

This story should give us courage to face what has died in our lives  and we can be reassured that God stands with us as we grieve our deaths.  But God still has something new in store for us. Each of us knows Good Friday;  but we are not stuck there. Though we have reached a dead end, some new life will be shown to us, some new possibility up ahead will open for us.

Praying in solidarity with Jesus

Gospel: Mark 14:1—15:47
“My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”

Today we have Mark’s passion narrative. We have been hearing Mark’s gospel since Advent of this liturgical year (B).

My life world offers me a welter of wonderful things-careers, places to live, consumer goods, travel, various educations. After l have set my face against anything sinful, how will I decide which among them to go for?
