A Lenten Reflection From Pope Francis

This comes from a Lenten Reflection by Pope Francis that was offered today by the Catholic Near East Welfare Association:

God’s mercy is not only forgiving — we all know this — but being generous and giving more and more. … Perhaps in prayer we ask for this and that, and he always gives us more! Always, always more. … Jesus is the companion on the journey who gives us what we ask; the Father who cares for us and loves us; and the Holy Spirit who is the gift, is that “more” that the Father gives, for which our conscience does not dare to hope.




A Southern Gospel Revival - Jamie Wilson - Ain't No Grave



Another version of this song:

There ain’t no grave gonna hold my body down
There ain’t no grave gonna hold my body down
When I hear the trumpet sound
Gonna get up outa the ground
There ain’t no grave gonna hold my body down

Well go down yonder Gabriel
Put your foot on the land and sea
But don’t you blow that trumpet until you hear from me

Well look way over yonder
See people dressed in white
I know it was God’s people I seen ’em doin right

Oh look way over Jordan
What do you think I see
I see a band of angels and they’re comin’ after me

Well I goin to the river of Jordan
Bury my knees in the sand
Gonna holler high Hosanna til I reach that promised land

Oh look way over yonder
What do you think I see
I see a band of angels and they’re comin’ after me

Well meet me Jesus meet me
Meet me in the middle of the air
And if these wings should fail me there won’t be no other pair

Why bother going to church?

Brother Elijah Collins preaches in Pilgrim, KY. on why going to church matters. Not all of my friends will appreciate this. It's back-home and down-home preaching. I'm including it because I know that many of us are helped by this. Do I agree with everything here? No, I do not. Do I think that there is positivity here, that it's inspired teaching and preaching, and that it speaks to many working-class people? Yes, I do. Please listen in and think about where Brother Elijah Collins talks about helping strangers and being Jesus to someone today.

Place all your hope in the Heart of Jesus...
