I Make All Things New

Msgr. Charles Pope has a moving reflection on the power of God to transform curses into blessings.
It’s also an explanation of one of the most controversial—and ironic—lines of Scripture.
His blood be on us and on our children! Never a truer word was spoken. And by it we are saved.
When You Can't Go

I’m enjoying reading the answers to Rachel’s question about your favorite Holy Week observances. But it is also making me a little wistful.
When I was a kid the Triduum seemed like an interminable parade of long, boring services. As an adult I’ve learned to love the sorrow and glory of this week’s liturgies, and I look forward to them every year.
This year I will be missing out. After a serious chat... READ MORE

Blessings to you and your family for a holy and fruitful Easter Triduum!

Fr. John Zuhlsdorf (from WDTPRS blog) offers two readings of The Stations of the Cross by St. Alphonsus Liguori—one with chant and one without.

“So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha. There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.”
– John 19:17-18
Be with Christ today. Stand beside the cross and unite your sufferings with His. Compare your wounds with His and see that they are small, but give them to Him anyway. Compare your strength to His and see that you are weak, but give yourself to Him anyway. Walk with Him, bleed with Him, die with Him today.
