Holy Mary
Near the Cross of Jesus Stood His Mother. We were a slow procession behind Jesus, coming at last to the place of crucifixion, As the cross rose up my brothers slipped away but I stayed close beside the Lord’s mother and her companions. Her Strength Appalled Me She did not cry out in her pangs,…

Receive the Holy Spirit
They Were All in One Place Together. The first thing to notice is that when the Holy Spirit comes to the Apostles, He does not come to them individually. He only comes when they are “all together in one place,” in a group. They have been together since “the evening of that first day of…

Following Him My Own Way
We notice that among children in the family, when the parent praises one of them for his/her achievement or good behavior, the others also want to know the parent‘s opinion about them.

Have Peace in Me
I was driving home from an appointment and decided to listen to a talk show to help pass the time. What came on seemed to link directly to today’s readings. Life often matches the readings! Depression on the Rise in the USA The commentator shared facts about the rampant rise in depression, especially among young…

Is Christ’s Ascension Our “Ascension” Into Heaven…?
Easter: A Time to Strengthen Our Faith Easter Season is a time for the strengthening of our faith. During Easter, Christ appeared and disappeared from his disciples’ sight multiple times. Forty days have been about enough for them to strengthen their faith in the Resurrection of the Lord. At this point, the words of Christ…

Just Ask!
Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you…ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.” John 16:23 Jesus’ words in today’s Gospel are both comforting and bewildering. Who among us can boast of having had all…

... Psalm 33vs22—Chidi O. Chidi I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God—Psalm 40:1-3
