TOUCH HIS WOUNDS AND BELIEVE
On this Divine Mercy Sunday, Jesus doesn't condemn Thomas for his disbelief, but compassionately offers up his wounds because he wants him to believe.
RESURRECTION
Today there is an opportunity to live not just any life, but one that proclaims the Gospel through how we engage with each person that we encounter.
GREETING JESUS AS OURSELVES
As long as we can welcome Him as we are, the Risen Christ will gladly visit and stay with us, giving us warmth and spiritual sustenance.
CONVERSION
Conversion is a delight. God is forever working with and within us to call us to embrace all of creation.
FINDING GOD IN ALL THINGS
Our encounter with the Lord and his accompaniment of us in those ways help open our hearts to see, love, and serve him in others.
THE FIRST PHONE CALL
All of these first hearers and witnesses to the Resurrection could not keep the news to themselves.
FEARFUL AND OVERJOYED
Our commitments to our loved ones enables us to face the challenge, even with the fear, because we have a purpose.
THE WAY OF THE CROSS
The subtle urge to look or turn away from suffering faded as something new took its place.
DIVERGING OR CONVERGING PATHS
But perhaps God’s plans are always the right timing, accounting for where we are and helping us move forward.
FOLLOWING IN FAITH
We are asked to follow and then understand along the way; even if the way is paved with challenges.
EMBRACING PARADOXES
In those junctures, I offer myself a chance to pause, calm my mind and heart, and ask God, “Are You saying yes, no, slow, or grow?”
OUR VOICES ARE HEARD
Once I have taken care of any practical issues that contribute to my distress...the avenue left is prayer.
JESUS HID
Even amidst the darkest depths of Lent, we have a spark of joy reminding us of the other side.
A BETTER RECIPE FOR CREAM PUFFS
Jesus isn’t as worried about following the rules, he’s looking at the bigger picture – looking to see how we love.
COURAGE OF OBEDIENCE
Joseph was as human as I am. How difficult it must have been for Joseph after he made his decision.
