Divine Mercy Sunday Nine years ago on Divine Mercy Sunday 2016 and I was praying in my chapel in Williams very early in the morning , quietly preparing for Divine Mercy Sunday Masses.

It is such a special day in the Easter season, and I wanted more to give to the people. Praying in front of the tabernacle I asked Jesus:
“Could You help me out a little here, Lord?

We Are Also Coming Back To Life

We are God’s people, the people of life, through Jesus coming back to Life.

Easter is the Great Feast of Life:
The famous Italian Catechist and Author, Sofia Cavalletti, wrote back in 1993:
“The Christian faith is an obstinate faith; each time confronted by death, it proclaims that death does not have the last word. And this is what we believe, what we affirm, and what we want to announce to the world, because we know that there has already been a first, great victory of life over death in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

Hosanna: “God, Save Us!”

Welcome to Jerusalem and Holy Week. We have travelled together to Jerusalem on our yearly pilgrimage to the Holy City.

Today, Jesus triumphantly enters Jerusalem through the Golden Gate, and today we spiritually enter with Him into the Holy City.

Palm Sunday is the portal, the gate through which we pass through into the most special week of the year and of our salvation.

“Neither do I condemn you. Go and from now on do not sin any more” (John 8:11)

To be dragged out through the busy streets in front of a huge crowd and publicly humiliated in the worst possible way in the society of that time must’ve been as bad as it could get. But then to have the death sentence by stoning to follow, well, that is just unimaginable.

Thank God we know the rest of the story…. This is the great dramatic scene we hear in today’s gospel reading. Jesus says: “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
