There’s something about being behind locked doors that seems to make the risen Lord more apparent to me.

Today’s find: Three words
Lately, when I hear the gospel accounts of that first Easter morning, I am struck by the impact of the event on those closest to the resurrected Lord.
Today’s find: Passion prayer
What strange words they are: ‘Behold, the Lamb of God.’

Today’s find: Triduum
Just a few more hours are left in Lent, as I write these words. (Although if you want to get a really intriguing and confusing conversation going, just ask any semi-knowledgeable Catholic when Lent ‘begins’ and ‘ends’.
I guarantee: You won’t get much of a satisfying answer, since the ‘40 days’ of Lent are stretched out over 46 actual calendar days between Ash Wednesday and Easter.)

Today’s find: Betrayal
Judas Iscariot is not often considered much of a spiritual guide, but his patterns of thought have been very much on my mind during these last days of Holy Week.

A blessed Holy Week to all…and an invitation: There’s a gathering of Catholic bloggers here at Rann’s place that you might find of interest as you begin your observance of this most holy time of the year.
Holiness has been on my mind in recent posts — including a reflection on the sometimes surprising shape of the holy things in our lives…and on remembering to invite God in to troubling circumstances, so that they can be redeemed.
What a blessing to know that Jesus is–indeed–With Us Still!
Save us, Savior of the world…for by your cross and resurrection, You have set us free!
Let us pause now…to recall that we are in the presence of the Holy One.
