On Good Friday we come to gaze on the Cross of Christ, the place of ultimate victory over Satan, sin and death and where love crucified became God glorified...

On this sacred night, we enter into the upper room with Jesus to enter deeply into the mystery of the Triduum and His saving passion for us...

At the Living Stations of the Cross at Emmanuel Catholic Church, a reflection on The Passion of Jesus as we enter into Holy Week...

In John 11, we experience the stunning words of Jesus, "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die." (Jn 11:25-26)  Demonstrating His power to raise the dead, Jesus calls Lazarus out of his grave.  It's epic to say the least!  And so is the raising from death that happens in the gift of baptism. (Rom 6:4)

After the man born blind was healed by Jesus, he was blessed to come to faith in Christ and worshipped Him. (Jn 9:38)  Worship is a beautiful act of prayer and an encounter with God.  We consider herein a particular form of worship that helps us to experience the divine "I love you" from God.

Meditating on Jesus cleansing of the temple, we grasp that as members of His Body, Jesus has a great passion for our lives as well.  Remembering what God revealed to St. Paul, "God is the one who, for his good purpose, works in you both to desire and to work." (Phil 2:13) we consider how the passion of Jesus manfiests by blessing us with the graces of holy desires in our lives.
