Jesus Appears to His Disciples CREO EN DIOS! - April 11, 2013 ... great at Lent and the Triduum liturgies, but then we go to Easter Mass, have a big family dinner and act like we're done. I suspect the same if true for many other Christians. For that reason, I thought I would be worth having a mid-day reflection on the subject of Jesus' Post-Resurrection appearances as an encouragement to participants to spend some time reflecting on those appearances during these remaining weeks of Easter. During my talk, I reflected on two of these ...http://susanjoan.wordpress.com/2013/04/11/jesus-appears-to-his-disciples/
Springtime and Pope Francis the Blue Wilderness A FRIAR'S LIFE - April 9, 2013 NOTE: Another beautiful reflection by Br. Joseph Powell, OFM, from his blog, The Blue Wilderness : Br. Joseph Powell, OFM Lent and Easter have left their share of impressive imagery, as they always do. Bare churches and mournful hymns now give way to lilies and gold-white vestments and thundering Alleluias. The wet March weather, with its cold mornings and overcast skies, has gone lamb-like away to make room for sunny April. The Easter vacation load of tourists and ...http://afriarslife.blogspot.com/2013/04/springtime-and-pope-francis-blue.html
Reflections on Today's Gospel: Wednesday, April 3. YOUNG FOGEYS - April 3, 2013 ... He spends time refereeing between the sisters active Martha and contemplative Mary. He gets crucified between two thieves, one demanding a jailbreak and the other asking to be remembered. Now He is on the road to Emmaus, between two men. We only know the name of one of them, Cleopas, and he has no trouble letting his anger and frustration out. They're walking with Jesus, but they don't recognize Him; they don't see Him. Only at the end, when He breaks the bread, do they see who was with them ...http://youngfogeys.blogspot.com/2013/04/reflections-on-todays-gospel-wednesday.html

Humility can just show up in the form of a recipe without a reflection. Wait. Did I just give a reflection in spite of the humility? Sheesh, you can't even dress me up, much less take me out.

A Personal Note, or Taking It Down a Notch Καθολικός διάκονος - April 1, 2013 ... renouncing the papacy at the end of the month. Since then, especially in March, which saw the Conclave, the election of Pope Francis, the early days of the papacy of this pope about whom not many of us knew much about, not to mention Lent, Holy Week, the just-concluded Paschal Triduum, I have been typing up a storm. It's April now, which is a lovely month, usually one of stark contrasts when it comes to weather, at least here along the Wasatch Front. During the 30 days of ...http://scottdodge.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-personal-note-or-taking-it-down-notch.html
Resurrection -- 2013 NARU HODO - April 1, 2013 Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! No, I mean... really. It is always so hard for me to put into words what I take away from the celebration of Lent, the Triduum, and the Resurrection. But it is so necessary to bear witness, so I try even though saying the ineffable almost self-contradicts. I will try snap shots. Early last week I was leaving a store with my daughter, waiting for cars to go past so we could get to our car in the parking lot, and it suddenly struck me ...http://lift-up-your-hearts.blogspot.com/2013/04/resurrection-2013.html
Christ Is Risen! LITTLE CATHOLIC BUBBLE - March 31, 2013 Indeed, He is Risen! Annibale Carracci There is joy in our hearts, as the long preparatory days of Lent are over, and we can once again sing "Alleluia!" Remember always that the Christian religion is based not on a wise man's philosophy or on an ancient set of rules, but on one major historical fact: Jesus of Nazareth truly lived, truly died, and truly rose from the dead. If the Resurrection never happened, then Christianity is not true, and our faith is in vain. But the ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/LittleCatholicBubble/~3/zHQSRy5Hvm4/christ-is-risen.html

It is a prefiguration of the Christian reality that the sufferings and difficulties of this world are passing and a time of unending joy will come. It is the calm after the storm. It was the witness of the Resurrection that gave the apostles courage to proclaim boldly the Good News of Jesus. It was the same Resurrection that gave the early Christians perseverance in their times of cruel persecutions. This is the same Resurrection presented to us by the Church every year.

The Triduum Begins: Reflections on Lent 2013 LIFE OF A CATHOLIC LIBRARIAN - March 28, 2013 And so the Paschal Triduum begins, and another Lent comes to an end. This is one of my very favorite times in the liturgical year. I'd love to go to the Holy Thursday Mass tonight, but I doubt that will happen with my needy daughter. However, tomorrow I am off from work and I have 3 Good Friday liturgies/activities to choose from at our parish: Morning prayer, the traditional 3 pm service, and/or Stations of the Cross. Right now, I'm thinking the 3 pm service. And then I can ...http://lifeofacatholiclibrarian.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-triduum-begins-reflections-on-lent.html

Reflections on Today's Gospel: Tuesday, March 26 YOUNG FOGEYS - March 26, 2013 At the beginning of Lent, on the first Sunday, the Gospel reading told us of the Devil's temptations of Jesus: "Turn stones into bread", "Throw yourself off the parapet", and "Worship me and these Kingdoms are yours". Jesus fought them all, and won, and the Devil went away "for a while". Today, in the Gospel passage about the Last Supper, we can see that the Devil is back. He is a cunning fighter, and this time, he's not going after Jesus, but rather those close to him: ...http://youngfogeys.blogspot.com/2013/03/reflections-on-todays-gospel-tuesday.html

Why should this be so? Consider what Father Edmund says here: Bishop Juan Antonio Martínez Camino, S.J., once said, in a retreat he gave in Heiligenkreuz, that one can summarize the famous Principle and ...http://jesuitjoe.blogspot.com/2013/03/st-ignatius-pope-francis-and-devil.html
Palm Sunday - C GOD'S WORD TO US - March 23, 2013 ... forgiveness. This has been one of the themes of the Sunday Gospels during Lent for this Cycle C taken from Luke. We have heard God's love and forgiveness from Jesus' teaching on God's patience in the parable of the fig tree (2 rd Sunday of Lent). The theme of God's love continues with the image of the father's boundless love for the two sons who do not appreciate it (3 rd Sunday of Lent). Then, God's love and forgiveness becomes tangible in ...http://godsword2us.blogspot.com/2013/03/palm-sunday-c.html
