20th Sunday of the Church
start with a reminder. This chapter six of John's Gospel contains the so-called "discourse on the bread of life." It just started with this startling revelation: "I am the bread of life" and end with: "Who eats this bread will have eternal life." In the middle of each of these two parties, "murmurs" of listeners who do not understand what Jesus meant.
Last Sunday, in fact, Jesus answered the question "This Jesus, where is it? "Today, in this second part of speech, Jesus gives the meaning of his mission on earth: It comes from God, and he returned to God, and he invites his audience, he invites us to unite closely to his own destiny eating "his body delivered its shed blood."
He could have explained! On the contrary his words ring as a provocation. tirelessly in various forms, he reiterated the unacceptable: he must eat his flesh, drink his blood, which are the only real food, the only real drink. He could explain it really does not eat its flesh, that these words a kind of symbol. None of that! Instead, Jesus emphasizes heavily, bluntly, without explanation. Why? Probably because none of these explanations is sufficient to account for the gift to us of his life.
By eating the body and drinking the blood, we recognize the gift of God is he who gives us life, his life . We recognize it is our only home. When we participate in the Eucharist, we "Communion", that is to say, we share the same load, the same mission as Jesus. In other words, we become partners with Christ. It's not just food, become passive consumers of God's gift. It's all about sharing the mission of Christ the Savior. It is about giving every day of our lives for love.
Every Eucharist should make us a little saint, a little more like God. is in this sense that Paul exhorts us to live according to our vocation: "Take good care of your conduct, he said: do not live like fools, but as wise. Take advantage of this time because the days are evil. Do not be reckless, but understand what the will of the Lord ... Let yourself but be filled with the Holy Spirit. " Here a good way to commune with Christ.

19th Sunday of the Church of The Transfiguration
Elijah is discouraged, even hopeless! This does not look like him. It does not even have the courage to rebel: "Take my life," he said to God. This God for whom he always fought, that he now regards as one who "takes life," he who kills ...
God will manifest instead as one who wakes, which calls up and who has for a long walk, long walk of life, walking toward God. go until the mysterious Elijah meeting of Horeb: where you can not go any further, because we reached the summit of the encounter with God.
And we? What is our road to where we going? What is our destiny, what motivates us in life?
When one starts a journey, we follow a route, it pursues a goal, a goal. In life, it's the same thing. If we want to live, not just survive, we need a high ideal. God is our true quest, our inner aspiration.
To his contemporaries gathered around him in the synagogue of Capernaum, Jesus says so bluntly: "I am God." But they know his earthly origin: Jesus, it is known: he is the son of Joseph, we know his father and mother! How could they admit that this man now before them "in the flesh" is "God"? Well yes, Jesus says I am "of God", but believe it is necessary that the Father inspires you, it blows on you. Faith is a gift from God. It can not be acquired after an argument, if it is sharp. "Nobody can come to me, says Jesus, if my Father who sent me draws him towards me. That is what Jesus tells us today in this Gospel passage. Now try to realize what he says.
This is a double movement: that of God to man and of man towards God.
The movement of God to man is personalized in Jesus. He defines himself as "the bread from heaven." Here is Jesus before us, with us, very human but filled with God's life and willing to share it.
The second movement involves our freedom. For it is this faith: complete trust that I set off to whoever comes to me, to feed on his Word. Everything comes from God. Everything is him. The Gospel is the heart of the knowledge of Christ compels us not to even stay in some shots.
Jesus thus presents himself to us as our food. He gives himself so that we might live. That is the very being of God is self-evident to rob the other RAM. And for us it's the same: live the life of God is to be able to give ourselves entirely to others.

Where To Purchase Katydid's Turtles
"It is fortunate that we are here ..." Peter seems obsessed , fascinated by the spectacle before to him. It is as overwhelmed by the desire of eternal things. Filled with joy this vision, he wants to live with Jesus, to immortalize the event: "let us make three tents," he says, "one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah. But God had another plan ...
Let me put the story in context. Transfiguration is between the first and the second announcement of passion. Add to that the presence of Pierre, Jacques and Jean will again be solicited at the time of Jesus' agony in Gethsemane. You see the link? Before testing the cross, disciples receive a special revelation: the beatific vision before the race of the Cross.
would also note that the transfiguration of Jesus is central to the Gospel of Mark. It is in fact not the top, but the summary of all revelation. Moses and Elijah are here. The first recalls the Act and the second represents the prophets. Those are the two pillars the most official of the Old Testament who are called to the transfiguration of Jesus.
Then there is the cloud , the mysterious presence of God. And conclude the event, the Father's voice is heard: "This is my beloved Son: hear him. . For witnessed the event, it should no longer be any mystery.
But it will take Jesus' death and resurrection that the disciples understand the meaning of what they witnessed. But let us not worry. When Peter, once confirmed in faith, will want to ensure the soundness of his teaching, that he will refer the transfiguration.
For the transfiguration of the Lord, the Father reveals the beauty of God. That is what we are called : The transfiguration is the summit of our Christian vocation. Never doubt the promises of eternal joy, how in our everyday lives can we be a small window that lets the beauty of God?

17th Sunday of the Church
Is not that Good News? 
The multiplication of the loaves is the only miracle to be told by the four evangelists. This shows the importance of this event. We are in summer and, more importantly, on the edge of a lake, the grass is green, generous! What wonderful scenery to locate the miracle of the loaves. But in fact, is that what is most important? Would we like the crowd around Jesus, simply because she saw the signs?
Jesus does something that raises the enthusiasm : "there were only five loaves and two fish," say some. "Yes! Yes! There were five thousand men, I was there, "says the other ... and the news spread like wildfire. But will they discern in this movement, in this sign, God's intention?
Obviously, God does not manifest itself by dint of miracles to feed the hungry of the Third World. For cons, the Spirit of Christ raises people like Abbe Pierre and Mother Teresa, to name a few. It can also inspire acts of sharing. With some bread and some fish, the miracle can take place. The miracle of the contagion of the gift: God has, admittedly, but through men and women of our time.
Misconception of the crowd, who would like the Christ, God, take orders directly; mistake disciples, who doubt that a few loaves and some fish can feed so many people.
Today, a handful of practitioners attending our churches, in the midst of the multitude! Three quarters of an hour of prayer common in a week, what it can change our lives? Well, today we can relive what the disciples lived in the multiplication of loaves. In Communion, we give body to the risen Christ. Because communion is not primarily feed on the body of Christ, "become what we receive," according to the expression dear to St. Augustine. Becoming Christ by our presence in the world, love and sharing, to continue together the work of salvation inaugurated twenty centuries ago.

Tescos Bread Maker Manual
16th Sunday in time to the Church
So the twelve apostles returning from their first mission. Happy but tired. It is easy to imagine the show with a wild enthusiasm, the story of their journey: they did what they said but also what they saw. They have so much to tell
Jesus ... But, unfortunately for them, they are continually disturbed by a crowd of onlookers who want to see Jesus. So Jesus offers to retire a wilderness. Silence, withdrawal from the world, prayer ... that's a nice way to finish their mission. Take the time to stop, to listen to God speak to us in silence. Nothing we can not dispense with, and every Christian needs to find those moments of solitude, to the fullness of God.
This time, it seems impossible for the disciples to leave : they go in a boat, but they are identified. Not that we know exactly how it happened, the crowd of onlookers ran and came before them on the other side.
What will the reaction of Jesus? Us, when someone comes to disturb our rest, however legitimate, we are not always very welcoming. Jesus, himself, remains available. He did not have time to eat, he allows himself to eat. As expressed in the text, it is seized with pity, "taken from the womb." Why? Because he feels that the crowd is hungry for God and it is abandoned as sheep without a shepherd. Then, forgetting to rest, he began to hear the crowd at length.
Jesus really is the good shepherd , who does not stop at its own needs, his personal peacefully at her little comfort. The crowd needs him, she claims? Until the end, he will sacrifice himself.
In the first reading, Jeremiah accuses the shepherds because they have failed in their task because they have divided and dispersed the people . The "sheep" were for them a source of income, nothing more.
The conclusion is self-same: whoever wants to be a disciple of Jesus must learn to be eating, eaten by the others. This is the program that Jesus offers to all those who invoke him. For Jesus, a single truth: love, giving himself completely.

Non Sugar Substitute For Brown Sugar
We've all been baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Our Christian life is marked by the sign of the cross. Each of our Eucharistic celebrations, every prayer in church or at home, before eating or getting up. The Sign of the Cross is a summary of our faith in God is our first profession of faith. Yet to speak of the Trinity, words fail us.
is that too often it seems, we seek to explain the "Trinity" when there is enough to live. So, it is necessarily wrong. One God in three persons, said to be consubstantial, that is to say, of the same nature and yet distinct from one another. You understand something about this gibberish? After sufficient to state a belief in God and avoid some errors in doctrine, we made the incomprehensible Trinity, abstract and useless.
But the originality of faith, too little known by the Christians themselves, is to believe in a God who is love itself communication. God as revealed in Jesus Christ, is manifested as a unity of communion, as a movement of donations. Father is opened every gift, he gives himself. The Son receives the Father, it is thanks to the Father. And the Spirit, we might say, is the relationship between the two, it means free and unlimited.
Trinitarian confession is not the result of speculation. I have no evidence or scientific explanation. To be honest, I barely understand how God made to live this relationship in itself, but what I am sure that the true face of God is Jesus who reveals it. He speaks of God as a Father who finds joy in giving everything. He tells us he is the beloved Son since forever and he shares everything with the Father. And it's even Jesus promises the Spirit who will renew the face of the earth and extend its presence among us. Such a God, the living God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And "there is no other."
We would like God in our image, but it is we who are in his image. Like the Trinity, we are called to form families and communities united in our respect for diversity. Transforming our loneliness into solidarity, that is our mission Son and daughters of God.
Remember, faith is not believe that God exists, but to believe that I exist for God. Through him, with him and in him, dare to live as God, love and fully given.

TRINITY PENTECOSTAL, Year B
At Pentecost, the Church is born. But it is important to go beyond the physical description to grasp its spiritual significance. Beyond the "mighty wind" and "tongues of fire", it must enter into the movement of the Holy Spirit. Do not misunderstand me. I do not question the historical aspect of Pentecost, I do not even doubt of its manifestations, but what it is for us is to receive the gift of the Spirit of the floor to reach the heart and stir from within. Without this gift, not evangelism.
Here is the Church not only the apostles but the whole community. The text insists that "they were all together." To awaken the faith of the community, to reverse the routines, legal barriers, fear and laziness, nothing like a "mighty wind". The community runs out of steam? They lack motivation? The Spirit is withering and penetrating, like a burning fire. awakened, animated by divine fire, the young community will receive the gift of speech and mission of Jesus Christ offer to all nations.
Different languages express clearly the universality of the Church snapping racist and national frameworks. The effect of the fullness of the Holy Spirit is visible: the disciples, hitherto timid, begin to speak, to proclaim the wonders of God, each according to the particular gift of the Spirit.
Paul spoke of confrontation. "Live under the guidance of the Spirit, he repeated incessantly. The commandments, laws corporations without the spirit of Christ, did no good. But if we have the Spirit of Jesus, no need of laws, there is no law that takes. We do good pushed inside. Go to Mass because it's an order, staying faithful to his partner because it is a command, will never be a slave morality. "Love and do what you want," said Saint Augustine. Access an operation of free men.
Thus, the Spirit works in two directions: first, it protects us from a hostile world to which he makes us fearless. Jesus called our lawyer, in Greek the Paraclete, the lawyer who will take our cause in hand when we face the contradiction. other hand, it leads us to Christ Jesus. It puts us in communion with him. It is the Spirit of truth. He will tell us everything he hears. The gospel would be meaningless if the Spirit did not speak to us.

Ascension of the Lord , B
texts of the Mass (click here)
"The Lord working with them ... "
Wedged between Easter and Pentecost, Ascension could spend a little unnoticed. It would be unfortunate, because the mystery that is celebrated is very invigorating. See for yourself themselves.
A new presence
Ascension we first learned not to get their hands on Jesus. Christ followers escapes, it escapes our takeovers also possessive and selfish. If we dodge and claws, is to force us to believe in his new way of being present. Ascension we discover the deeper meaning of the Eucharist. Jesus no longer be with us because we want to be. He no longer has to be our traveling companion, as is our strength to walk. He no longer has to be a buddy that you can kiss and touch, since it becomes our life. It has to be seen more as it becomes our eyes. He no longer has to be our friend since it became our strength to love. He no longer has to be our interlocutor, since he became our word, more intimate to ourselves as ourselves.
Jesus ascended into heaven, we firmly plant in the ground. We are now, its unique presence to our brothers. Welcome the joyful mission given to us in this celebration. "Go into the world. Proclaim the Good News to all creation ... "Jesus, through our hands, our eyes, our lips, our feet and our hearts, wants, for us to continue ceaselessly continue to love, to meet and to save all men.
A fabulous destiny
The Ascension of the Lord is the completion of his Incarnation. St. Athanasius, that we celebrated a few days ago, reminded forcefully that "God became man so that man might become God." Through the coming of the Son of God in the world, the whole cosmos, the whole world and all the people living humans who are married by God. This mystery
care of the man Jesus is, where Christmas began in deepening. He digs into the scandal of the cross where the Son took upon himself all our distresses and our follies. He bursts in resurrection, the triumph of life over any death. He finally accomplished in Ascension.
On returning to the bosom of the Father but with all his weight of flesh and humanity, Jesus is divine. He makes us share the love of God. And with us, the whole universe is transfigured, because we are made of "stardust" as the title of an album of beautiful astrophysicist Hubert Reeves. Pope Leo wrote this luminous sentence: "The Ascension of Christ is our promotion. "
In this great body that forms the whole Christ, the head is already in heaven. Members already benefit from this divine happiness in which it bathes. Is a celebration of hope. For where the head is gone, Hence also the entire body pass.
The mission can begin. She is the joy of announcing to the world's most beautiful destiny.

6th Sunday of Easter
"Love one another as I have loved you "
Have you ever had been misjudged? To God, it happens all the time! is attributed God images that disfigure it. Formerly, it was said that he was a vengeful God. No wonder people have been afraid of him. Today we say good and understandable. So, we are continually thinking to be free. St. John found a brief statement to say that God is "God is love." In doing so, he said it all and yet everything remains to be said ...

St. John found a brief statement to say that God is "God is love." In doing so, he said it all and yet everything remains to be said ...
Benedict XVI dedicated his encyclical on the theme of love. He writes in the introduction: " Originally from being Christian , there is no ethical decision or a great idea, but encounter with an event, a person , which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction. "
In other words, recognize the true image of God love 'implies that in fact has actual experience. There are certain experiences that are truly "divine" and they are more numerous than previously believed: see his sick child, will be moved by a spiritual reading, get in prayer for a friend, take the time to listen and accompany a wounded neighbor ... In fact, these experiments are so numerous and so everyday we do notice them more.
There is something else. The love from God is not a supplement to, something that would add to its existence. "God is love" in that it is the source and hence it is the principle of all experience that leads to love. "Love grows through love. Love is 'divine' because it comes from God and unites us to God .... " This kind of love expands our horizons, overcome our divisions, open to dialogue, reconciliation and allows for making generous. Benedict XVI adds: "union with Christ is also union with all those to whom he gives himself. I can not possess Christ just for myself: I can belong to him only in union with all those who have become or will become his. "
Similarly, in the Eucharist we become" one body ". is why the love of God and love of neighbor are so intimately linked. "A Eucharist which does not translate into concrete practice of love is intrinsically fragmented", Benedict XVI will say again.
short! We are not free to love or not love, we are free to love! And to love like Jesus. "The 'commandment' of love becomes possible only because it is not only a requirement: love can be 'controlled' because it is first given. "The measure of love is to love without measure, following the example of Christ.
In other words, recognize the true image of God love 'implies that in fact has actual experience. There are certain experiences that are truly "divine" and they are more numerous than previously believed: see his sick child, will be moved by a spiritual reading, get in prayer for a friend, take the time to listen and accompany a wounded neighbor ... In fact, these experiments are so numerous and so everyday we do notice them more.
There is something else. The love from God is not a supplement to, something that would add to its existence. "God is love" in that it is the source and hence it is the principle of all experience that leads to love. "Love grows through love. Love is 'divine' because it comes from God and unites us to God .... " This kind of love expands our horizons, overcome our divisions, open to dialogue, reconciliation and allows for making generous. Benedict XVI adds: "union with Christ is also union with all those to whom he gives himself. I can not possess Christ just for myself: I can belong to him only in union with all those who have become or will become his. "

In this second farewell speech, Jesus invites us to stand firm amidst the world. The enthusiasm of the first witnesses, eventually succeeds the test of time. If it is not always easy to "abide in God" in our daily lives, perhaps because we rely too much on our own forces.
There is a certain order to build a Christian life. If we start saying: "We must love our neighbor is the only important thing," we will achieve nothing, because everyone understands love in its own way as he did not endorse the mind of Christ. It puts limits, conditions, restrictions, is inevitable. We are ready to forgive to the extent that the other does the same. Our love is measured according to the mood or, at least according to what is considered humanly possible.
But in today's Gospel, Jesus asks us to begin to share his thoughts. This is the meaning of the phrase "keep my commandments." You want to stay in God? Well, think big! See how God! Would holiness aim for the perfection of love in daily life.
Only here! To embark on such an adventure, it must take root, connect to the source, otherwise we may well fall back into old habits. course, many will say that this is utopian, it's pretty naive. But, if by so doing, we recognize that we are in truth and that before God we have the heart at peace, it will matter little to be vilified, judged or ridiculed.
We need love "in deed and in truth." A love that is confirmed by concrete action, which seeks to grow, ahead, to heal, to build. In a word: should our profession of faith in God through love of neighbor. Saint John
we summarized perfectly: "This is his commandment: have faith in His Son Jesus Christ, and we love each other ... He who is faithful to His commandments abides in God, and God in him. "

hello to proclaim the name of Jesus Christ!
Mass Readings (click here) hello to proclaim the name of Jesus Christ!
In light of the first two readings that we are invited today to understand image of the Good Shepherd offers us the Gospel.
For Peter, there is no doubt: "Apart from Jesus there is no salvation. " It may seem provocative, this brave Peter! Today, one hesitates to be too categorical, we procrastinated, it provides shade for everyone to feel respected. For the sake of openness, it becomes soft, it seems. Do we really believe that salvation comes through Jesus Christ? Better, that Jesus is "the only one who can save us? Attention, I'm not saying that other religions are bad, but in regards hello, do not be afraid to proclaim the Good News!
The malaise, in my opinion, is not so much the message of lack of integrity of messengers. When, just after communion at Mass, a "faithful" will begin to speak ill of a neighbor, or when, as a Christian, we can not forgive an offense, it betrays the thought of our God.
Here the Apostle John intervenes judiciously: if Jesus "wanted us to be called children of God" is that we may live as son and daughters of God. If all baptized Christians were a bit more, maybe less would we be uncomfortable to proclaim that Jesus is the Savior of the world!
The world is full of mercenaries, merchants of happiness, illusions sellers on credit. And the world so hungry, he is often ready to buy the special day. In this game, it quickly becomes jaded, saturated. As Christians, we can offer better! Because this is not an idea that we should share, but a life, the very life of God!
As the good shepherd lays down his life for love, we too have to give our lives for our families. God knows us. He knows, he sees what we can become. Hence the richness of the ministry that Christ tells us: to live today like to announce saved the Risen indeed.

B 3rd Sunday of Easter B
The disciples of Emmaus who returned ...
Your death had left them completely helpless;
they had left the group ... Your
meeting, Lord Jesus has given them life.
They return to Jerusalem. Their
vi has regained its sense, since you're here, alive!
They can not keep for themselves the joy
they must share it.
That's the same reason that should push your disciples
today to meet all together
each "first day of the week".
The council pointed out:
that day, the faithful gather to remember the passion
resurrection of Lord Jesus and give thanks ...
Revives our faith, Lord,
to ensure this for all the baptized.
Jesus was there among them ...
You said: When two or three are gathered in my name,
I am there among them.
sudden your presence confirms your words.
This wonderful reality continues to perform for us
is yet another reminder of Vatican II:
to Mass is Christ who speaks
when we read the Scriptures;
it is offered by the ministry of priests, it is there under
the Eucharistic species ...
Increase our faith, Lord, to discover your presence,
invisible but always faithful ...
and just fill with joy thy disciples today.
Peace be with you!
This message, the angels singing already at your birth:
Peace to men of your lifetime ...
and your gift is Risen:
peace of God, his love, his life.
is the gift that you go to Mass,
inviting to share it: Go in the peace of Christ!
Yes, make us your artisans of peace, where we live.
For that, at every Mass, opens our minds to understand the Scripture as you did to your apostles and opens our heart to your love, your peace.

Indian Wedding Lenghas With Trails
2nd Sunday of Easter, Easter Day B
Aujourd ' Today's gospel offers us meet Thomas. This brave Thomas looks like us. He demands proof before believing the rhetoric. It reminds us that even among those who saw Christ and the signs he was doing, many have refused croireThomas is closed, locked the doors as the house where it is located. The Christian faith is not a theory to which we adhere to intellectual effort or strength of scientific evidence. This is not a mere personal conviction.
The Christian faith is our link. It is not to simply believe in God, but to believe that everyone, each, personally, we exist for God. Our whole life is turned away, and dare we say, revived.
We believe in everything that is stated in the Creed : God the Creator, God the Father, Jesus his son died and risen, the Holy Spirit ... We believe in possible love, brotherhood, with the advent of the reign of God in the Church. Let us now ask why we believe. Whence comes this faith? We saw nothing, neither God nor Christ. We believe because we have been taught these truths, because it's written in the Gospels. Saint John tells us that he wrote it all "that you may believe." But Scripture is a dead letter if the paper is not reopened in every generation. must pass the letter by someone to become again a word.
So any faith comes by the Church, that is to say all of us who have a mission to open the book. So the people spokesperson who is the driving force of faith. And God has full confidence because his Spirit dwells within us. The question remains whether we are sufficiently credible. Among the winning conditions, it is imperative to rely on the Unit. It was the hallmark of early Christian communities. Remember: "The multitude of those who had joined the faith had one heart and one mind, and no one claimed ownership of his property, but we put everything in common. "
And on what basis the Unit? The answer all our lips: Jesus Christ. But not only: "We know that we love the children of God when we love God and we are doing His commandments. So, first of all avoid at all costs want to convince, but we must act so as to give a taste of God. Submit Jesus Christ by how we live the Gospel together. That is what seems credible!

Christ is Risen ! The affirmation of the Christian faith on Easter morning through the obvious: Jesus is not buried. After observing the lame, the sick, the excluded, wounded by life, having itself been rejected, condemned and crushed by the crucifixion, having been buried and buried, now that this Easter morning is the first shock at the empty tomb: "We have taken the Lord," says Mary Magdalene to the disciples.
For Jean, it is quite different: " He saw and believed. " What did he see? And what he believed?
The simple vision of a shroud that was lying there, a towel rolled well, in this empty cave, recall his memory the words of Jesus, so often heard the words he had not understood until there, and who, in one fell swoop, make sense. many times since the morning of the Transfiguration, and throughout the long march which led the Master and his disciples to Jerusalem, had not heard it not "need" that the Christ was arrested, tried, convicted, tortured, killed, then resurrected. Not more than the others, John had understood the meaning of those words or the general meaning of words. It was so contrary to their dream of conquering and triumphant Messiah! And then in this Easter morning, these words came back to the memory of the disciple. Ah! So this was what Jesus had said so many times! The disciples did not want to hear about it. But now, before this tomb, where there was nothing to see, faith arose: it was indeed true, this word heard. There was more doubt.
Because he attended Jesus, he was listening to his word, in this Easter morning, John can say "I believe". Faith is made loyalty to someone higher than adherence to a dogmatic statement. Because our Christian faith is essentially faith in the risen Christ. And so this morning we are gathered in this church is to express our faith in the resurrection. A faith that we came to each one of us, what we have heard, what you gave us. For we have seen nothing, neither do we, because resurrection. We said "Christ is risen" and we believed. Who told us? Our parents, our priests, our catechists, men and women we met on our road and that we had confidence. Themselves had heard the good news, and they had placed reliance. And that, from generation to generation since the first witnesses.
Even today, it's good news. It proclaims, is the singing, the shouting, "Christ is risen! Yes, he is truly risen! Alleluia! Alleluia!

How To Make A Motor Bike
Vigil
"They were scared," says the evangelist Mark. Should we be surprised? First witnesses of an event that will change the world.
Easter means "way". Passage of God in our dead to free us and we meet. These passages are numerous in the history of salvation.
From initial chaos, let us remember, God brings life out. Creator, he invests in his holy creature. What surprises most about these stories is the stubbornness of God to believe in humanity, despite its weaknesses, betrayals, its indifference.
Also, the entire liturgy of tonight is full of symbols that remind us of these passages. We started in the dark, to find ourselves in the light. We started in silence, the better to hear the Word. And most importantly, we saw the body torn on the cross and buried Friday, we receive in our, but now the body of the Risen Christ, the bread of eternal life.
We already know that. We believe in it. Yet we may still be afraid. We fear for the future of our Church, we are afraid of losing those we love, fear of not being in height, fear of not being liked, fear of being judged. And like Mary Magdalene, we are concerned ... silently
Even today, God can save us! Whoever created the universe from nothing and one who has fed his people and then led into the desert and one who has spoken to humanity through the voice of the prophets who shared our humanity and rose his only Son from the dead, can make us free. Free to love.

"It is finished. " 
"It is finished. " it is Jesus' last words before dying: "It is finished. " Jesus went to the end of its mission. He was only 33 years after specialists. 33 years is the age of big projects, big ambitions ...
And one might almost say he has sought. If he had not talked so much. If it was not so shocked. That he could not tolerate hypocrisy. He refused to be silent. Always reaching out to the poorest, the defense of this despised and even the Sabbath. His universal love for humanity was an affront to lawyers. He was not afraid of anyone. It was not a man of compromise. It was quite the Son of the Father and on this assumption it will eventually be judged and condemned.
So how should we understand his death? And what difference does it make in our lives?
First, we must understand that Jesus is more than just a good guy. He is the Son of God, he is God. So when we see Jesus we see God. On the cross, God suffers for us is God who cries outrage is God condemns evil, God confused the darkness and it is God who shows the world his love for humanity even before talk of Resurrection!
Then, the cross reminds us that we must take our lives. no question of turning a blind eye to injustice, not about to resign along the way, no way to compromise to save his skin, no matter finally to escape reality. If we say Christian, Christians, we need to be followers of Christ, to renounce ourselves and take up our cross each day.
is given in a life and really offered that one becomes fully man and fully woman. With Jesus, accept every day to give our life to the end to get by with him to eternal life .

Japanese Molested On Train Bus
Palm Sunday and Passion, Year B
love to the end!
Daily Readings
What strikes us in the narrative of the passion according to Saint Mark, is first the solitude of Jesus. During his agony, even his friends do not have the courage to watch one hour with him. In the betrayal of Judas, in addition to flight and the abandonment of the other disciples. Besides the denial of Peter who seemed so confident a few hours earlier. Solitude at last on the cross, where even the Father seems to be missing ...
To this is added the lonely silence of Jesus not a word Judas silent before Caiaphas, Pilate faced silence.
one hand, there is Jesus, who alone faces the death of another, there are authorities who are seeking a compromise between the two, there is the crowd left handle and a few faithful who are struggling understand what is happening, but are careful not to compromise himself.
Two thousand years have passed since the events of the Passion. Yet the words and gestures, silences and glances, the gift of life without compromise, cause today conversions.
is that choosing Jesus is not ideological. He did not die to defend an idea or to advocate a way of life. He gives his life out of loyalty to one person: the Father. Throughout the Gospels we see Jesus in his intimacy with the Father. There he draws the strength to move forward, where he finds the courage to speaking and acting, where he draws the energy to go through with himself.
Like him, we can, we also draw from God the strength to love till the end. In our solitude, let's recognize beyond impressions and feelings, the loving presence of God. Faced with our fears and anxieties, raise our gaze to Christ, who continues to hope in us and if we may be tempted to compromise, let us trust in the person of Christ who alone can really save.
In this Eucharist, are one with Christ. Do not dream it everywhere except where you live. God has drawn near to us, that we are close to him.

Easton Sv12 - Ssv1b Review
5th Sunday of Lent, Year B
We are eight days of Holy Week and Easter fortnight. Already the cross of Christ stands before us as a prophetic sign, as an expression of New Covenant. For Jesus, the time is right to give his life and this time he desired, while the fearful. And we, how do we prepare for death?
because you never know when or under what circumstances we will have to live our last visit. Usually, we avoid asking this question, it scares us, we fear it, it seems too far-reaching consequences. Yet even if one seeks to delay the inevitable, it nevertheless remains that death will eventually catch up with us one day or another, whether we like it or not. So far face reality and seek ways to prepare for it sincerely.
Notice that Jesus does not philosophize before death. It does not respond. He lives simply to die as an obedience to his fragile human condition as solidarity with suffering humanity. There is nothing to understand death, except that she is the obligatory passage to live forever.
importantly, do not believe that Jesus was glad to die. In the letter to the Hebrews, St. Paul shows us that Jesus is torn. He understands that he must give his life. He is aware of the drama being played out, but it is in the tears he finally agrees to give to the end.
The problem for us is that we would rise again before I die!
With simple words, however, Jesus will put hope in our hearts that we so desperately need. In this little grain of wheat comes down all our lives. Indeed, all nature reveals to us the mystery of the resurrection. Just observe our environment, to contemplate the life around us. "Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone, but if it dies, it produces much fruit. That is what Jesus tells us today. What he lived, what he saw, so he invites us to live our turn.
It will be an entirely new Alliance. For now, it's part of us that this hope: "if I be lifted up, will draw all men to myself."
At eight days of Holy Week, it is good to repeat once again the health check of our faith: are we willing to die to ourselves to bear fruit and give life to others?

How To Fix A Straightener That Doesnt
4th Sunday of Lent, Year B
For him, the world is saved! 
For him, the world is saved! This week, two homilies are offered for your meditation ...
the middle of Lent, here that is already shining the light of Easter. The Gospel shows us Christ in High Cross, raised in glory. The apostle reminds us that Passover was like we made at our baptism and first reading tells an important passage of the History of Israel's deportation Babylon and the return from exile. What they have in common? This passage from death to life!
Historically, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took Jerusalem in 587 BCE. Those who escaped the massacre were deported as slaves. Israel will have lost everything: its land, its temple, its institutions, its king. is what Psalm 136 says: "By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept (...) How can we sing a song of the Lord in a foreign land? " 70 years later, Cyrus took the figure of a savior. It allows a small group of Jewish return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. is the return from exile.
In the Gospel, Jesus also recalls another significant event in the history of Israel: the ordeal of snakes in the desert. The people who walked in the desert had no where to hide and snakes came to invade the camp. Those who died had been bitten until the day God asked Moses to make a bronze serpent. Anyone who watched the snake was healed.
For Jesus is merely a point of comparison: as the serpent was a sign Life after death sign, well, Jesus raised on the cross become a sign of life after being killed. Quite the mystery of death and resurrection that unfolds before our eyes. The cross tells us two things: first the violence of sin, and secondly, the boundless love of God.
What then is the way I look on the cross? A look of curiosity, pity or a look of faith and hope? He who contemplates a vision of faith understand that God loved the man to give his only begotten Son.
" It is by grace we are saved, "says St. Paul , but must still feel the need to be saved. We gladly said Christian, is said to believe in God, Jesus, perhaps even to the Church, but have we ever had the experience of salvation? We were immersed in God through baptism, does it change something in our lives?
(second homily)
Today's text is not easy to understand. It tells or an episode from the life of Jesus, or a parabola. It is rather a meditation on the cross .
The cross we often problematic. Saint Paul spoke last Sunday as a "scandal" and a "madness". It appears, in the eyes of the world as a failure. Jesus died on the cross! Besides, it necessarily refers to the suffering, which is scary!
But in the Gospel of John, Jesus speaks of the cross as an "ascent" as the instrument of "hello" or even as a "Glorification". Is that the cross, for believers and believers, reveals the face and heart of God, the God of Jesus Christ, a God who is love. Viewed in this light, the cross becomes the sign of a love that goes beyond everything.
In the Epistle of Paul to the Ephesians we read, on this Fourth Sunday of Lent: "God is rich in mercy (...) he loved us with great love." Do we really believe? In general, we are rather skeptical ... it wants proof, evidence. It is rarely satisfied with a simple word and Jesus knows. That's why he uses concrete examples. To lend credibility to his word, Jesus refers to an event that happened long ago in the desert.
You probably know that episode of the "brazen serpent" : when crossing the desert, the Israelites doubted God's goodness, then, it sends serpents that invade the camp. All those who are bitten die until God told Moses to make a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. Just look to the brazen serpent to be healed.
You see the link: in the mind of Jesus, when he will be "high" on the cross, simply look to him for salvation. As the brazen serpent was signs of life after death sign Similarly, Jesus 'high' on the cross become a sign of life.
The reversal is wonderful: Jesus crucified was not down forever in death, as one would expect, but it has never been "high". More importantly, it will become a source of life, and eternal life to all those who will their gaze on him. Not a look of curiosity or pity, but a look of faith. Of faith and love.
Here we are invited to fix our gaze on the Crucified and discern in him, in faith, that which his Father raised.

3rd Sunday of Lent Year B
"Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise"
What Jesus calls into question so violently today is not trade as such, but the cult of the Temple has become a trade , a kind of bargain with God. Judge for yourself ...
At Temple, we had to offer sacrifices. Rich offered, for example, an ox, a bull offered a less affluent and the poor lamb, a pair of doves. But these offerings were interested gestures: they gave to receive. This is exceeded
you tell me? Not so sure! In reality, it is still in the church, unfortunately, a religion of merit to be acquired. We often think that to deserve something, he must "earn" his salvation. You end up believing that God loves us that if we observe the law perfectly. However, Jesus denounces this economy market. He wants to make the faith desirable and believe me when I tell you he loves us even with our sin. God gives freely. It gives even free. Without any merit on our part.
So if we want to be Christians, we must move from the market than the gift, the religion of traffic to the religion of the home. The passage is not easy, I admit. It is much safer to make a report to give and take. It is certainly less humiliating. But it is the conversion that we do if we want to follow Christ.
Jews, witnesses the violent gesture of Jesus, asking for a sign. Jesus responds with a baffling riddle: "Destroy this Temple and in three days I will raise it." There is no better way to destroy the very foundations of the religion of the time. I venture a parallel with our churches today , our temples to us. Some people are worried about the future of our temples, but what is the real issue? What do we fear most? If you had to choose between your family or your house, what are the criteria for discernment?
After the exchange, Jesus presents himself as the new Temple. Jesus therefore gives a sign, but this sign is visible only to believers. It is not proof, but rather an ordeal. It will take three days to understand and again, we really understand? What still remains a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the whole world is what God has chosen!

2nd Sunday of Lent, Year B
Readings this Sunday (click here)
What catechesis awesome! In a short story, we see the glory and mission of Jesus. The story is meant as reassuring for us who walk by faith. Let's see how the apostles were able to interpret the event of the transfiguration.
The action takes place on a mountain, a place of revelation. In this sacred space, the disciples will receive a new angle the person of Jesus and his mission. For a moment, clearly they see Jesus as the heir of Moses , The liberator of his people. They see it also as heir to Elijah. They understand even better than Jesus as the Messiah and prophet, in the footsteps of the greatest prophets of the Old Testament. Hence the excitement of Peter: "It is good that we are here, let us make three tents," as if it were possible to capture the moment.
But Jesus is more than just a political leader, more than a prophet, he is the Son of God, he is God. A voice is heard and said: "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him! "This is the" listen to the "That is difficult. Admire a master or love from afar is easy, but to attend her school, to understand his teaching and live is something else. Seen in this light, the story of the transfiguration is more telling than a single event, it is a life story that concerns us all and all, everyday.
At times, God asks all. Abraham knows something. The story of the sacrifice of Isaac shakes consciences. How a father can offer his son as well, how can God ask such a crime has a father? In reality, the purpose of this story was just to ban child sacrifice practiced by the Canaanites, as God intervenes to prevent Abraham from killing his son. The fact remains that God asks Abraham something that seems unthinkable, even absurd and contrary to filial love. But Abraham had faith in God, "If God be for us," could he say, "who can be against us? .
And what about the sacrifice of Jesus? What proof of love God has given it? He did not spare his own Son, for all of us who have delivered. So how could he, having given us what he holds most dear, do not give us everything, since, with his son, he gave everything! It and Paul reasons.
When experienced a personal encounter with Christ, everything else seems pointless. So if the disciples "saw no man save Jesus only" is that it became the center of their lives and that now they see the world through his eyes.

1st Sunday of Lent, Year B
A loyalty ... confusing!
A loyalty ... confusing! The desert is a place of extreme hardship : storm sand, intense heat during the day, tenacious cold during the night, water shortages, loss of orientation. For those not initiated, it is death for sure!
Our spiritual life is also known periods of desert to which we are more or less well prepared. In these difficult times, a feeling of loneliness and abandonment we invaded. God seems absent. Our prayer seems pointless. The challenge is to persevere and be patient. At that time, it is good to remind us how the Lord has been present in our joys and our problems. Any
temptation puts our faith to the test. The temptation to ease, to enjoy life without taking into account the following day. The temptation to put God to the test, ask him for evidence. The temptation to put God in question, or worse, be mistaken for gods. The temptation to impose on each other the way we think and live. And the list could go longer. All our lives, child, adolescent, adult and even towards the end of our lives, the temptations are there lurking, waiting for a weakness on our part to infiltrate, to insinuate itself: it is laziness, the Pride, jealousy, envy ... whatever!
But what is even more confusing is that God continue to trust us. God continue to hope in us, despite our doubts, despite our faults and sins repeated. He continues to love us, to make alliance with us. When Jesus
from Galilee and takes the call to conversion that launched Jean Baptiste, he invited everyone at the same time, each to strengthen and grow in faith when difficulties arise in life. No question of giving up, no question of becoming discouraged and no question of reducing the requirement of the message of Jesus. Instead, it is in the light of Jesus' call to revise the way we relate to God, men and things.
Finally, if life is responsible for testing our faith and our faithfulness to God, let's be smart enough to avoid falling and let us arm ourselves for battle, prayer, sharing and fasting. It exceeded you tell me? Not for those who consider his means as a further opportunity to strengthen their choice in favor of the Alliance.

Ash Wednesday 8th Sunday
we enter Lent. This is the time to go without dessert, to forego some trips, it really feels like doing penance. Each year it returns, each year we start to make efforts, we deprive ourselves of some things as an athlete, it is carried out, we train for Easter ...
"Return to Me with all your heart, "says the Lord by the prophet Joel. That is what serves our training. Return to God is to first agree to not be God, but to require him to live. "Now is the acceptable time is now the day of salvation. "
Jesus gives us three examples:
He talks about the charity. It invites us to do so in silence and in secret. Share free, without waiting, this is a gesture quite evangelical. There are those who give to avoid getting involved, there are those who do not give because they believe it does not really help the person and there are those who give themselves to each other, simply because the other has needs. In truth, it is not only giving, but to have an open heart to another. Jesus exhorts us
how to pray in secret. Today, we are not so inclined to pray in public as the Pharisees of the Gospel of Matthew. Praying in public became almost indecent! So where would hide the hypocrisy of our time? Maybe in our way of saying: "I do not need to go to church to pray, I pray at home. "For some people, this means, do not pray at all! If we do not really specific time in our lives to prayer, in fact we end up not praying. As the prayer remains a duty, an obligation merely external, or even a chore, we will avoid. As long as God remains for us a means and not an end in itself, we really never learn to pray.
And what about fasting? Do not think only to the deprivation of food and drink. What are our small drugs, the things we can not pass but that is not really necessary? Where are our outbuildings? Television, computer, or work ... everyone to examine themselves. Deprive us of some of the excesses we give more time for God and for others!

Mass Readings
WHAT WE BELIEVE GOD?
What God do we believe? To Love a God or a God accountant? I doubt that we're completely defeated the images of a God who punishes or rewards according to our criteria of reliability or infidelity.
We have often opposed the God of the Old Testament than New Testament : first, severe, if not ruthless, and the second is full of tenderness. The first reading today comes to destroy this perception. Many centuries before Jesus, the prophet Hosea shows God taking the initiative of a forgiveness process very difficult. Like a deceived husband, he began to regain the people of Israel, which he compares to an adulterous wife. It is he who takes the lead, he did everything he needed to renew ties and restore a climate of affection. It looks straightforward to seduce, to win back the heart of the unfaithful wife.
Psalm also echoes the attitude of our God. expressions of his love and mercy can not be counted. So whence comes this image of a stern God? Whence comes this distrust of God?
Today, Jesus confronts this issue directly and invites us to a reversal of perspectives. His interlocutors asked him why his disciples do not fast. According to them, to practice religion seriously, multiply the works. Not exactly! Jesus answered. To practice his religion seriously, it must enter into a personal relationship with God. is the real challenge of our faith.
From here, Jesus gives us two tracks.
First, he said, "when the bridegroom shall be taken, they will fast. " We have seen, it is God who initiates the relationship, all free. He is always there. But often it is we who are not here. Fasting means all our efforts we make to present the presence of God.
The Lord also uses the symbols of the new cloth and new wine. is there anything new in what Jesus proclaims. Indeed, the Gospel, from the first Testament, is like a piece of cloth that comes new take on the old fabric or as new wine whose fermentation burst the old wineskins. The Gospel compels us to renewal.

So if I'm away from the Lord, fasting would be entirely appropriate. Mean by fasting, to find ways to make more room in our lives to the Lord: pray more, listen to his Word, be more attentive to the other. And do not hesitate to make something new, even at the risk of changing habits or forego some pleasures or avoid certain relationships. Short! For Being Christian is not enough to multiply the practices, we must cultivate our relationship with God. Will we enforce them?
