Homily for Holy Thursday 2012--Love in the Midst of Confusion ANAMCHARA - April 5, 2012 ... ago. If we take part in a winning sports event, we are ecstatic but a bit melancholy remembering our own lost youth. In this life, confusion and uncertainty fog the best emotions and the clearest thoughts. C. It's that way with our faith too. We always think religious faith should be so clear, so easily accessible, but it's not. And the Scriptures tell us that tonight. In the two biggest events in the Bible, confusion reigned. 1. The Israelites were not entirely sure that the Angel ...http://anamchara.blogs.com/anamchara/2012/04/homily-for-holy-thursday-2012-love-in-the-midst-of-confusion.html

They were supposed to prepare dinner for more than seventy people—in a kitchen with no windows. The evening centers on a video, which you can't show without power. But they showed what it means to be children of the light. They lit up the pitch-black kitchen with the little votive candles people light by the statues; they rented a generator; they served dinner by candlelight. In the words of the first chapter of St. John's Gospel, they showed that "The light shines in the ...http://gregorynsmith.blogspot.com/2012/03/open-eyes-of-my-heart-mass-for-second.html

You check and you find that this man has been ...http://timeforreflections.blogspot.com/2012/02/this-man.html
