What is hard for the disciple of Christ is that we have no control over what the reward is or when we receive it.
It’s not that God abandons us, but that we stop following Christ.
How could I ever repay such love?
The things that we are determined to hold on to are the very sources of our struggle.
On this Ash Wednesday, I’m hearing the rooster crowing.
The word of God is not a weapon to bludgeon and hack other people with.
Today, I receive Jesus’s prayer.
Jesus is more worthy of my own “belief” than I am.
Jesus told them only and exactly what they really needed to know.
