'Let him do good'." "The disciples," the Pope said, "were a little 'intolerant', set on the idea that they owned the truth, believing that 'all those who do not have the truth cannot do good.' And 'this was wrong'." In fact, "Jesus 'broadens the horizon." "The root of this possibility of doing good," which we all have, "lies in creation. The Lord created us in His image and likeness, and we are the image of the Lord, and He ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/05/pope-says-no-to-intolerance-everyone.html
Jesus Breathed on Us JOURNEY TO WISDOM - May 18, 2013 A Reflection on John 20:19-22 N.A.B. By: Larry T We are being assaulted! The attack on us is shocking, alarming, and ominous.

Some years ago, Blessed Pope John Paul II observed that "a society will be judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members and among the most vulnerable are surely the unborn and the dying." Today in Canada, we are living with a great evil that is causing untold suffering–the scourge of abortion. Some in society cast the abortion debate as a matter of human rights.

MOTHER of MERCY JOURNEY TO WISDOM - May 9, 2013 ... posted by all of you. Today, I would first like to preface my own reflection with a flashback to St. Francis de Sales. He had a great way to describe an approach to our meditations, which I would like to share with you. He asks us to consider our meditation on God's word as a walk through a flower garden. There are lots of choices, lots of beauty, and lots of great smells. So just select one or two or three flowers that appeal to us right now, and pick those. Just so, select ...http://journeytowisdom-ocbs.blogspot.com/2013/05/mother-of-mercy.html

Third Sunday of Easter PRINTED AS PREACHED - April 14, 2013 The pages of the Gospel are offered to us, not simply for insight into human nature. Using the language of symbols and sacred imagery, the Gospel provides us with a powerful reflection on the essence of Christ's holy Church, the direction the Church is going, and her mission.

When Saint Ignatius of Loyola discovered Jesus Christ, and allowed himself to be found by Him, he wished to leave everything and go to the Holy Land and to live there as Jesus lived, going to the same places and seeking persons whom the Lord might have met.

Jesus is sentenced by Pilate to Calvary, to see him rejected, mocked, spat upon, beaten and forced to carry a heavy cross, to hear the echo of the hammer, to feel the agony of the torn flesh and strained muscles, to know Mary's anguish as he hung three hours before he died. We recoil before the atrocities of war, gang crime, domestic violence and catastrophic illness. Unless we personally and immediately are touched by suffering, it is easy to read Scripture and to walk away without contacting ...http://catholicseeking.blogspot.com/2013/03/let-us-love-one-another-during-holy-week.html
