A Holy Awe

True Love

John 21:18–19

Gestures of Love

John 17:20–21

Jesus’ act of “Lifting his eyes to heaven” was not done because He thought He might see the Father in the sky; rather, it was done out of respect and love and as a way of acknowledging the dignity of the Father.

Solemnity of the Ascension of Our Lord (Year A)

Matthew 28:18–20

When you look into your own conscience, what do you see? Do you see a person with perfect faith and trust in God? Or do you see a person who seeks to worship God but also struggles with doubts? A doubt is a lack of faith.

Catholic Daily Reflections - The “Labor Pains” of God’s Will

Friday of the Sixth Sunday of Easter

The “Labor Pains” of God’s Will

John 16:21

Anguish, or any form of suffering, can tempt us to question our lives & even to question God. It is clear that after Jesus was killed, the disciples questioned everything. They were confused & frightened. All appeared to be lost.
