“Sorrowful” Tuesdays transport us to Jesus’ side during the Passion and Crucifixion. As we linger with Jesus as he goes to his favorite prayer garden for guidance, let us be mindful not to fall asleep on Jesus lest we miss the drama. Matt. 26.36-46. May we be ever vigilant and fully awake as to how [...]

“Joyful” MOndays- Even If We Don’t Fully Understand God’s Plan

dcalvillo — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 17:51:43 +0000

On “Joyful” Mondays, we contemplate the mysteries of the Finding of Jesus in the Temple. Mary and Joseph didn’t fully understand why Jesus was in the Temple attending to His “Father’s” business yet they accepted the reality. May we likewise accept the reality that we may not fully understand God’s plan and yet submit ourselves [...]

Catholic Christians pray with “Joy” on Saturday and everyday as we welcome Mary into our prayer life. In praying WITH Mary to her Son, we begin to appreciate that Mary magnifies Jesus (Luke 1.46-55) and that He magnifies Her “Behold your mother.” John 19:27. “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us…”

“Sorrowful” Fridays transport us to the Cross and Jesus’ encounter with the two criminals. Luke 23.33-43. “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” As we remember Jesus today in our Rosary prayers, let us learn from the Good Thief to ask Him to “remember” us. “Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done.”

We pray our Rosary on this Thursday in the “Light” of the Father’s love. In revisiting the baptism of Jesus at the River Jordan, let us recall that God the Father himself has made abundantly clear the identity of Jesus of Nazareth, Son of Mary. “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well [...]
