SOMETHING TO THINK AND PRAY ABOUT THIS WEEK
Coming together in Christ
There are two bowls of water in the story of the Passion. One is Pilate’s, used to scrub himself of all responsibility. The other is the one with which Jesus bathes others, soaking them in lavish love.
The two bowls are always before us in life. Jesus shows us that when you take the side of the dispossessed, your spirit deepens and grows. When our self-obsession is reduced, your life expands and your horizon enlarges. To pick up the towel is not to become a doormat. We are called, not to serve people’s wants, but their needs. We serve others in the name of Christ. We share what we have, but, more importantly, who we are, especially with people who are rejected and alienated. They are the life presence that transforms us by showing us the heart of God, the prophets, preachers and provocative witnesses of the Gospel. They challenge us with questions that disturb and disquiet us, as they lead us into looking at the Passion and Easter with new eyes and hearts.
Easter invites us to remember the Lord when we gather as a community for the Eucharist. He entrusts his future in the world to us in the Church.
John Cullen, The Sacred Heart Messenger, April 2022
We remember at this time...
Jesus was an ordinary person. He didn’t seek to elevate Himself above others. People were drawn to Him because he made them feel seen and valued. After His Resurrection, he continued to appear as a normal person – on the road to Emmaus, in the Upper Room, and by the shore, when He cooked some fish over a fire for the disciples.
As a Father, God longs to connect with His children in a way that is intimate and real. By taking time daily to draw near to him, we open ourselves to experience His peace, joy and love. Our lives become richer when we seek to know Him better, allowing His presence to transform us from within. Help us to remember to give You time, Lord. Amen!
