What Shall We Do With These Men?
Christ is risen! It almost seems unbelievable to think that our society could actually get to the place where we say that someone has outlived their "usefulness" and withdraw medical care from them because they aren't "worth" saving for society. And yet, we are creeping dangerously close to that mindset...
Cast ALL Your Cares On Him
Christ is risen! "Take a vacation," he said. Sure, I'll take a vacation, but how? I'm busy. There are things that have to get done. People are depending on me. People expect me to be available to them. I HAVE TO work! Sound familiar? Yea, I know, we Type A personalities...
True Repentance Refreshes the Soul
Christ is risen! I like this quote: “A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you’ve been taking.” Yep, I bet you know that feeling of being so fed up with the everyday activities of life that you say “STOP!” And yet, why is it that...
The Zeal of the Gift of the Holy Spirit – Bright Friday
Christ is risen! "What would Jesus do?" That phrase was popular a few years ago, and I confess to being amused by this fad of "easy religion." One of the main reasons was that the life of Jesus is not easily categorized as the comfortable "Jesus" we moderns would prefer....

Behold And Follow Him – Bright Wednesday
Christ is risen! "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them." During the COVID lockdown, I remember being tempted with despair but then I read the rest of the quote and I refuse to allow the temporary to drown out...
I Know You – Bright Tuesday
Christ is risen! "Now I recognize you!" He was an old friend from High School, and, for the life of me, I couldn't remember the face UNTIL he made that facial expression he use to make at lunchtime that made us fall on the floor laughing! I love moments like that...
Hell Is Embittered! He Is Risen
If everything matters, nothing matters. After all, if you are just headed for the grave why not indulge all my desires? The loss of the joy of the Resurrection has unleashed hell on our world. But the Resurrection turns hell into an empty place! Hell is truly embittered by...
Knowing God Face to Face! – Bright Monday
Christ Is Risen! What joy! What happiness! What a celebration! Words fail. Songs sung over and over again still cry out for more! Death is conquered by the Unconquered Son. O what news! The whole earth basks in the glow of the Victory of Christ over death! No more fear!...
Trampling Down Death By Death – Holy Friday
On this Holy Friday: Let us pray to the Lord, O God and Father: How can the light of the sun pierce the terrible darkness of this day and its events? Your only Son, the true light, in the darkness of his ordeal, was pleased to embrace in his humanity the...
