How the King of Israel Honors Himself: Christ the King Shares His Crown with Us

New Mercies Every Morning

A burning lamp is a Biblical symbol of vigilance, fidelity. Waiting servants, no less than the ten virgins of the wedding party, are expected to keep their lamps supplied with oil for one purpose: keeping the lamp’s light aflame. And that flame means much more than light to see by.

Returning our Focus to Christ

The fact that God can take away any problem he wishes, or hasten the end of some unpleasantness, might leave us imagining a whole ungainly mess of wasted time in God’s providence that could have been much better spent.

The Friendship of Jesus

I wonder what Philip was expecting to see when he made this request on behalf of all the Apostles: “Show us the Father and that will be enough for us” (Jn 14:8). What did he expect Jesus to show them?

Join the @stjosemariainst this Lent as we reflect Join the @stjosemariainst this Lent as we reflect on “The Seven Last Words of Christ”—a weekly devotional journey into the love of Jesus revealed from the Cross. Each Friday, we share a short excerpt and a reflection question to guide your prayer and help you enter more deeply into the mystery of Christ’s Passion.
--
FIRST WORD |Luke 23:24 
“Father, forgive them; they know not what they do.” 
GOSPEL |Luke 23:33-34
“When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him and the criminals there, one on his right, the other on his left. [Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.’] They divided his garments by casting lots.” 
MEDITATION |Christ is Passing By, no.95 
“Christ’s generous self-sacrifice is a challenge to sin. We find it hard to accept the reality of sin, although its existence is undeniable. Sin is the mystery of evil, the inexplicable evil of the creature whose pride leads him to rise up against God. The story is as old as mankind.” 
PAUSE + REFLECT
How do I make efforts to seek out and accept the mercy of Our Lord through prayer and the sacrament of Penance?
