April 6: F

F is For Friday

Any other Friday this would be the best day of the week. But Now we come to close Jesus Life on earth. We today recognize the death of the Lord and him who will come in 3 days. Let us  acknowledged him dying, his death, and his rising to new life. As so will we by Answering I do To our baptismal Promises. 

Even though we are Sinners and we crucified him, and nailed him. Jesus Cries out Father forgive them for they do not now what they do.  For we do not. We have changed our hosanna to Crucify. It is finished Jesus knew we were all going to be saved, and he could not teach us any more, and he gave up his spirit.

⁴⁴ It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, ⁴⁵ for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. ⁴⁶Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”When he had said this, he breathed his last.

 ⁴⁷ The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

April 5: E

E is For Everlasting 

I will try to keep this post Short and sweet. But as we all know TODAY IS THE DAY! The Day we celebrate Jesus going,eating blessing the bread and wine, getting betrayed And was handed over to the hands of sinners. But I for surely won't to talk about the Last Supper.

Why do I Want to talk about it? Well no, not because it's the day. But the Everlasting Memories made from this supper that we Catholics still follow today. 

Lets think of this. What do we do every Sunday? Yes we listen to the homily. But we break bread. And this indeed is brought from this very day. The Day we acknowledge Jesus Breaking the bread for our lives. And as we repeat at mass " Do this in memory of me" For we do. By Re-acting it every Sunday, and we are remind that the bread is Jesus. The Life we have, is filled with Bread. So was the life of Jesus. And So this is why he Used Bread a lot.

But The Symbol of Breaking the bread Is so magnificent. We see God Coming and sharing him self. Giving us him. For This day we are brought to SEE Jesus. For this day is Everlasting. So is the word of God. God 's word Was around before any human or sign of life was. And as far as Eating his bread and drinking his Blood at church that is everlasting with in us.  When WE eat this bread a drink this cup we proclaim your death o lord until you come again.

“Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.”Luke 22:19

April 4: D

D is for Daily 

I'm not the one that usually makes a To-do list. I Just try to remember everything I have to do that day. I usually find that i never put it in the right order and then o'm either late for something or i'm done it by the time it was requested to be. Everyday I will just do as things come; and take them as they are. But I have to say that this is not easy. Especially when I hear bad news or bad things being said. Then it just makes the day, that much longer, and sadder. But then I look for those days when I have nothing to do. Like Patrick Star ========================================>

Now I want draw attention to Jesus' daily life. This Past weekend(palm Sunday)  well for at least at my church the passion was read. And this year it's from Mark.And there was one line in there a struck out to me. Words upon which Jesus said.  This one line is " Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest  me as though I were a bandit? Day After Day I was with you in the temple teaching and you did not arrest me. But let the scriptures be fulfilled. "

Now Jesus tells us what he did. *MR. obvious however* When I heard this line I thought of, the reading, where they kept listening to him, and wanting to stone him and to capture him. But they could not. Because the scriptures had to come true. For To prove that he was the Son of Man he made the scriptures come true.

Jesus is the biggest  teacher by teaching us the ways of God. And by sacrificing him self for us. But i mean this is his DAILY life.

April 3: C

C is for Cross

Lets start Tuesday off with Friday. The saving Cross. Not any Cross, but the cross Jesus hung from. How often do we think of others and there real sacrifice for us so that we may enjoy our life? How often do we not know the sacrifices made for us to do things. Think of all the sacrifices made for you and revolving you.


What do we see when we look upon a cross?  To pieces of Wood forced together to make that shape. Or do we see the sacrifice? The ultimate one.

      Look upon a cross right now; what do you see? Do you see I.N.R.I? Iesus Nazarenus rex Iudaeorum.  The sign. The true sign! The sign which the scribes and pharisees wanted to change. So that it would be false.  Which would have said: Hic dicit Filius Dei erat ( which translates into: This man claims he is the Son of God.) 


Look also now at his face. His troubled face. The face of him dead and worried. ( i would be worried to if i was crucified) But think of  his troubles for you. Wiped, thrones put on his head, spat on, stripped of the few clothes he had and then crucified. Always, however keeping us in mind. For if we can carry, just a sliver of his cross, and not be sad, or guilty or embarrassed for what we did, Jesus would have such an easier time. But although looking at our faults, we must also see that Jesus does not want us to worry about things. SO he will not let us carry his cross. WE have our own crosses to pick up. 


Now look at his Arms, his tired arms. But his way of showing us how much he loves us. The expression of that he would go to the point of death for us. Because he held his arms between heaven and hell For us to believe so that we may be saved. Think of those arms just hanging there, showing His love to us.

If You want to come with me, 

you must forget yourself, take up your cross everyday,

 and follow me

April 2: B

B is for Blind

      I'm going to go back in time a little bit. Lets go back to the prep of this week. The second Scrutiny to be exact. Lets go back and see a little more into this story. No not because I like the story, but to see the fundamental purpose of the story, and to see what God wants us to learn.

³ “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. ⁴ As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. ⁵ While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

      So In this passage above, we have 2 Keys elements that A) form the rest of the story and B) Know who Jesus is. Lets un-detect these 2 great elements.  So firstly we can clearly see that Jesus is telling them the exact reason why this man was indeed born blind. It was nobodies fault. It was so that we might believe. So that God may be shown through Jesus. To show that him and the Father are one. Then Jesus goes on to telling us the second element of this story. While it is day, we can only do work. And during the day we must do the work of God. But then Jesus continues saying "I am the light of the world". So he is clearly telling us that while he is in the world, we must always; never stop. the work of God.  For he tells us that he is God the savior of the world, of whom we must always do work for, for he is the Son of God.

 ³⁵ Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”³⁶ “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.” ³⁷ Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”³⁸ Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.³⁹ Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”⁴⁰ Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”⁴¹ Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.

      And Know we see Jesus Asking the man if indeed he believes the Jesus is the Son of Man. Notice of Jesus says " He is the one talking to you" He never says his name, he never says, "I" any time he talks to someone and they want to know who the Son of Man is. He never drew attention to himself. Okay only that one time when he, got made in the temple, and threw all the shops, and trades out. But Jesus never drew attention to him self, he never said the words "I" or "Me". For if he said that many would not believe. But just look at out lives today, how easily we say "I" and "Me"

     Next Jesus Talks about the world and how we will be judged. "The Blind will see and the see will be blind". For this does not mean we will all become blind because we see. I like to look at this as "those who believe ,will see God and those who don't believe will not see God"   For If we truley believe and not turn into Crucify HIM And stay HOSANNA! Our eyes will be opened to see the LORD

April 1: A

Accomplishment 

     It's been 3 Years or so and now we see this man; this figure coming into the Holy City of Jerusalem. People at each side waving Palms and Singing "Hosanna" Worshiping this man. But Soon we will see the quick; ever so quick change in there attitude. Yes we will. From Singing "Hosanna" to "Crucify him". This Day We come Not saying Crucify him But "Hail him who comes in the name of the Lord". For, this is no April Fools day Joke this is Real that one accomplishment of Him his coming into Jerusalem to meet his fate. TO Die for us; Our sins; our life.

After seeing this one poster and it's sayings; the words on it have always been with me. It read " In 50 years God won't care what shoes you wore; what jeans you wore; what you looked liked; what your job was;what your relationships were. God will care about How you spent your life." It's How we spent our life. I really just focus on this. It's what accomplishments  we did. And what we wanted to do in our life. 

We all have our own accomplishments and otherwise lives. We are all different in every way. We are never a like in no way. But there is one Way however that connects us all in one way, How God will judge us. He Won't care about our earthly things like our,clothes, jobs,relationships,how much money we made, He will judge us on our accomplishments. 

Matthew 28-31

 ²⁸ “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹ Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰ If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?³¹ So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 

So it's obvious that we shouldn't live our lives based on the things of here but the ways of God. God only wants us to do good in life. To prove to him that we are worthy for his kingdom. For is that not why he sent us to earth? Well 

Do not cheat when you use weights and measures. Use true and honest weights and measures, so that you may live a long time in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. The Lord hates people who cheat. Deuteronomy 25:14-16 

 

But then the Lord also tells us not to cheat for our accomplishments. Not to cheat so we can boast. But to do things truthfully. Well for one you never feel good after you cheat, the guilt and unhappiness within is just bad; God does not want us to feel like that.  For One day we shall see the kingdom and live there but to live there longer and longer we shall not cheat but be honest and not boast on our Accomplishments.  

Yes of course it is nice for others to see and recognize our accomplishments, but not to the measures that we make others feel bad, and we our selves are trying to track attention to our accomplishments. Despite the fact that all of us
