Are We Too Complacent?
Is it possible now that He so readily gives Himself to us that we have taken His great Gift for granted?
Today is the day to end our complacency.
Good Friday Reflection
This is not just another Friday. This is Good Friday. Will that fact make any difference in the way we live this day? For far too many of us, today will likely pass much like any other Friday - a mad rush to get to the weekend with little thought of He Who made us and whose sacrificial and brutal death redeemed us. Where is our gratitude? Unforgettable (Source: Wikimedia Commons ) This the day so long foretold This the day of justice lacking This the day of man’s ingratitude This the day of cowardice and fear
St. Jose Maria makes a good point here, especially important as we are in the season of Advent. Perhaps it would help us to think of ourselves as living a little Advent every time we receive Holy Communion. Let us bless the Lord for giving us what the Israelites could not have in all that time of waiting. Just thinking about this is staggering. It must have been monumental to the apostles when they consecrated the bread and wine.
