“Could I Really Do A Thing Like That?” | Wednesday of Holy Week

All of the apostles reclining around the table at the Last Supper ask this question; one of them, Judas, asks it just to keep up appearances. He is about to set up Jesus for arrest and condemnation.

“God is My Reward” | Tuesday of Holy Week

Throughout Lent the Roman liturgy often sings of the “rewards” or fruits of fasting and penance: sobriety and clarity of mind, a humbled heart, works of mercy, and forgiveness of sins—rewards that are gifts from God and which dispose us to an even greater attentiveness to Him.

Commentaries on Holy Week | Wednesday

Wednesday of Holy Week recalls the sad story of one who was an apostle of Christ, Judas. As St. Matthew tells us in his gospel: Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, “What will you give me if I deliver him to you?” And they […]

Commentaries on Holy Week | Tuesday

The Gospel of today’s Mass ends with the announcement that the apostles will desert Jesus during the Passion. When Simon Peter, filled with presumption, tells him that I will lay down my life for you. Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the cock will not […]

Commentaries on Holy Week | Monday

Yesterday we recalled Christ’s triumphal entrance into Jerusalem. A great crowd of his disciples and other persons acclaimed him as the Messiah and King of Israel. At the end of the day, exhausted, he returned to Bethany, a village close to the capital, where he was accustomed to stay on his visits to Jerusalem. A […]

“Mary, the holy Mother of our king, the queen of “Mary, the holy Mother of our king, the queen of our heart, looks after us as only she knows how. Mother of mercy, throne of grace: we ask you to help us compose, verse by verse, the simple poem of charity in our own life and the lives of the people around us; it is ‘like a river of peace.’ For you are a sea of inexhaustible mercy: ‘All streams run to the sea, but the sea is never full.’”

St. Josemaria Escriva

Today is the feast of Our Lady of Mercy (September 24). 

Among other places, she is the patroness of Barcelona where great festivities are held each year. The title of Our Lady of Mercy came to hold a special place in St. Josemaria’s memory and heart. He made a habit of visiting the Basilica of Our Lady of Mercy to seek her protection and intercession—a tradition continued by his successors and spiritual children in Opus Dei.
