THERE IS A SIGN OF HOPE

 

Everything is not 

Wrong in the world

There is a sign of hope

God is our inspiration

And our Guiding light

HOLY MONDAY

Holy Monday is

The Third day of holy week

Is notable for several reason

We are told in The Gospels

That amongst other things

The cursing of the fig tree

The questioning of Jesus' authority

And the Cleansing of the Temple 

All took place on Holy Monday 

PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD

 

With the Roman Rite

Of Palm Sunday

Or Passion Sunday

Holy Week begins

Marking the humble entrance

Of the Messiah

Into Jerusalem on a donkey,

So he could accomplish

His paschal mystery,

But Palm Sunday

Also marks with the

Blessing of palm leaves

The beginning

Of his journey to the cross

HOLY WEEK

 

Holy Week

Is the last week of Lent

And Good Friday

And ends on Holy Saturday

LAZARUS SATURDAY

 

Lazarus Saturday

Is the day preceding

Palm Sunday

Which celebrates the raising

Of Lazarus of Bethany

A day of joy and triumph

Which begins Holy Week

AS A BOY I ASKED GOD FOR A BIKE ONE DAY

As a boy I asked God for a bike one day,

But I knew God didn’t work that way

So I decided to steal a bike and then

I asked God for forgiveness instead

NO MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE

There is a famous quote about God 

Not giving you more than you can handle 

Well there are times that I just wish

He didn't have quite so much faith in me
