Vita Dulce

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY : It may be a sign that a man is becoming more mature and sacramentally aware when he rests at the end of the day after cleaning his garage and thinks to himself  'it is good.'

In the end, whom will have a life more 'well-lived': one who believes that man 'determines' truth or one who believes that man 'discovers' truth ?

" We must carry the cross Before the cross carries us ."         Paul Claudel

" ... once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers " (Luke 22:32) The Gospel today for Palm Sunday touched me greatly. So many elements of the reading that I don't seem to remember hearing ... And the image of Peter stood out from amongst the rest; A man who was not so strong as to never fall, But strong enough to lift himself And turn his tear-filled eyes back to the LORD.

At reconciliation this Saturday I was challenged by the priest to 'find God where he is unexpected'. As we begin Holy Week, I stumbled upon this wonderful artistic depiction of the Stations of the Cross: http://www.stjames-cathedral.org/Prayer/jkblstations/stations.htm To find God in the midst of suffering is a most 'unexpected' place.

This is the page students will go to each day to read their assignment and that I can attach pictures, video-clips, etc. to be used in my virtual class!

You cannot pray the Lord's prayer and even once say "I". You cannot pray the Lord's prayer and even once say "My". Nor can you pray the Lord's prayer and not pray for one another, And when you ask for daily bread you must include your brother. For others are included ... in each and every plea, From the beginning to the end of it, It does not once say 'Me'. (From a Prayer Card from Omaha Home for Boys) *The Lord's Prayer uses 9 plural personal pronouns.
