Detachment | A Homily by St. Josemaria Escriva

Now that we are at the beginning of Holy Week, and so very close to the moment when the Redemption of the whole human race was accomplished on Calvary, it seems to be an especially appropriate time for you and me to reflect on how Our Lord Jesus Christ saved us, and to contemplate this […]

You Have Prepared a Table Before Me: Finding Mercy at Matthew’s Table

At the beginning of Lent, this Gospel teaches us too how to become Christ’s welcome table-fellows. But the table to which He now calls us is that Table which is also an altar of sacrifice, an empty tomb, the most privileged place of our communion with God.

Join the @stjosemariainst this Lent as each Friday Join the @stjosemariainst this Lent as each Friday we reflect on “The Seven Last Words of Christ”—a weekly devotional journey into the love of Jesus revealed from the Cross.

FIFTH WORD | John 19:28 – 29 
“I thirst.” 
GOSPEL |John 19:28-29
After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I thirst.” There was a vessel filled with common wine. So, they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth.
MEDITATION | Christ is Passing By, no. 111 
“We must learn to recognize Christ when he comes out to meet us in our brothers, the people around us. No human life is ever isolated. It is bound up with other lives. No man or woman is a single verse; we all make up one divine poem which God writes with the cooperation of our freedom.” 
PAUSE + REFLECT
How can I more regularly strive to see myself and others as God sees us?
