CAREGIVING, THOUGH DIFFICULT, CAN BE A BLESSING, WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE

In the United States first responders are appreciated for their efforts to take care of situations that can cause damage to lives and properties. Fire fighters, doctors, nurses, police officers, veterans and clergy are the most prominent one sees when something happens that can harm people. Whether it is in their DNA, it comes from one’s background or learned, those who first answer the call to be there to help do so at their own risk.

As Life Challenges Us Daily, How Do We Adapt to God’s Ways?

There is a certain truth that with age comes wisdom. The importance of understanding this is based on what decisions we make based on our state of mind and in what condition our life is in. The comic relief and sadness about what we do is centered around what we remember or do not.

EASTER! PROMISE OF EVERLASTING LIFE FULFILLED!

Easter, especially the Triduum, is a continuous historical and spiritual reminder to Christian believers of the greatest love story that ever happened in our reality nearly 2000 years ago.  Without it, a massive amount of those would have no connection with God except at creation and at the end of one’s life for judgment.  The years in between would be aimless based on one’s free-will decisions that may or may not lead to a relationship with God.  The Blessed Trinity in their infinite wisdom provides a plan for each of us that circumvent what could have been a tragedy for all: A world without a Christian God who created us out of and for love.   

Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord gives us messages of praise (Hosanna) and of hate (Crucify Him). Our response is a cry of understanding and acceptance when we shout: GOD IS GOOD! ALL THE TIME!

 In St. John’s Gospel at the procession of Jesus into Jerusalem, we hear a great crowd of followers crying out: “Hosanna!  Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.”
