2nd Sunday of Lent
The story of the Transfiguration is hard to imagine: standing in the presence of Moses, Elijah, and Our Lord and then descending the mountain to reenter the ordinary routine of life. Like Peter, who wanted to build three tents, we often struggle with the connection between the transcendent and the mundane. A beautiful mosaic on […]

Third Sunday of Lent
Depending on whether your parish has an RCIA program, you may hear one of two Gospels this weekend. Cleansing of the Temple Today, standing in the Temple area, we see Jesus cast out the money changers and those selling animals.

Holy Thursday
Today, look at Jesus as He stoops to wash your feet. He draws near to you. He knows the paths your feet have trod, the aches, the worries, the missteps, the hesitations. He takes your foot gently in His hand and you wonder why. Like Peter, you think it is not right for the Master […]

Good Friday
In a parallel scene to the triumphant entry into Jerusalem, today Jesus travels through Jerusalem accompanied by crowds. Instead of praising Him with laud and honor, they shout at Him, curse Him, and urge His captors to crucify Him. Pope Francis writes “Love is a gift that means giving our lives.” Jesus leads us in […]
