Full Text of Readings Wednesday of the Seventh Week of Easter Lectionary: 299 The Saint of the day is Saint Bernardine of Siena Saint Bernardine of Siena's Story Most of the saints suffer great personal opposition, even persecution. Saint Bernardine of Siena, by contrast, seems more like a human dynamo who simply took on the needs of the world. He was the greatest preacher of his time, journeying across Italy, calming strife-torn cities, attacking the paganism he found rampant, attracting crowds of 30,000, following Saint Francis of Assisi's admonition to preach about “vice and virtue, punishment and glory.” Compared with Saint Paul by the pope, Saint Bernardine of Siena had a keen intuition of the needs of the time, along with solid holiness and boundless energy and joy. He accomplished all this despite having a very weak and hoarse voice, miraculously improved later because of his devotion to Mary. When he was 20, the plague was at its height in his hometown of Siena. Sometimes as many as 20 people died in one day at the hospital. Bernardine offered to run the hospital and, with the help of other young men, nursed patients there for four months. He escaped the plague, but was so exhausted that a fever confined him for several months. He spent another year caring for a beloved aunt whose parents had died when he was a child, and at her death began to fast and pray to know God's will for him. At 22, he entered the Franciscan Order and was ordained two years later. For almost a dozen years he lived in solitude and prayer, but his gifts ultimately caused him to be sent to preach. He always traveled on foot, sometimes speaking for hours in one place, then doing the same in another town. Especially known for his devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus, Saint Bernardine of Siena devised a symbol—IHS, the first three letters of the name of Jesus in Greek—in Gothic letters on a blazing sun. This was to displace the superstitious symbols of the day, as well as the insignia of factions: for example, Guelphs and Ghibellines. The devotion spread, and the symbol began to appear in churches, homes and public buildings. Opposition arose from those who thought it a dangerous innovation. Three attempts were made to have the pope take action against him, but Bernardine's holiness, orthodoxy, and intelligence were evidence of his faithfulness. General of the Friars of the Strict Observance, a branch of the Franciscan Order, Saint Bernardine of Siena strongly emphasized scholarship and further study of theology and canon law. When he started there were 300 friars in the community; when he died there were 4,000. He returned to preaching the last two years of his life, dying while traveling. Reflection Another dynamic saint once said, “…I will not be a burden, for I want not what is yours, but you…. I will most gladly spend and be utterly spent for your sakes” (2 Corinthians 12:14). There is danger that we see only the whirlwind of activity in the Bernardines of faith—taking care of the sick, preaching, studying, administering, always driving—and forget the source of their energy. We should not say that Bernardine could have been a great contemplative if he had had the chance. He had the chance, every day, and he took it.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Delivered by Novi and Keenan from the Parish of Saint Peter in the Diocese of Bandung, Indonesia. Acts of the Apostles 20: 28-38; Rs psalm 68: 29-30.33-35a.35b-36c; John 17: 11b-19.SHARING THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Our meditation today has the theme: Sharing the Giftsof the Holy Spirit. There is a group of the Catholic youth who entered thechurch to do a prayer service. They were seven, four girls and three boys. Theywere all amazed by the decoration displayed beside the altar showing the sevenimages of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Each chose one gift of the Spirit whichmostly suitable to each one's personality, namely the gift of wisdom,understanding, advice, knowledge, piety, fortitude (strength), and fear of God.After praying for few moments, they returned home with joy. There was a good and noble intention from them as agroup of the Catholic youth and as individual Christians as well. They wantedto give testimony to other Catholic youths, so that they could bring all youngpeople around them to a good Christian fellowship in the Church. They also wantedto become apostles in the sharing of the gifts of the Holy Spirit to theirother friends in their neighborhood. They believed that they would becomeuseful Christians if they shared the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Why do we need to share the gifts of the Holy Spirit?There are several important reasons. The first reason is because God himselfhad shared His divine power with humans through the Son of God who became a manin Jesus Christ, then Jesus Himself sent His Spirit to us. God always sharesHimself through His everlasting love, and so we must also able to share thatlove. The main purpose of this sharing is to create unity. This is the core ofJesus' prayer which today's Gospel reading proclaims. A sharing of the gifts ofthe Spirit aims for unity and not for disunity. The second is because the Holy Spirit moves and makesthings work. He moved every person in the Early Church and then initiated theiractivities so that they did not remain silent or hid themselves from public.Saint Paul was sent by the risen Jesus and he was instructed to move from oneplace to another, because he must extend the presence of the Church in allcorners of the earth. We are also filled and moved by the Holy Spirit so thatwe can share the Good News to others. And the third reason is because the one Church that wehave is an inclusive Church. Jesus Christ had entrusted the great mission tothe Church which is to make all people and nations His disciples. So there isno other way to fulfill this except that every member of the Church has to moveout from his or her place and share the gifts of the Holy Spirit to otherpeople. The world might have a lot of things for making people's life nice andenjoyable, but it must be lacking in the love and mercy of the Lord which comesfrom the work of the Holy Spirit. It is truly a blessing for our world todayif the sharing of the gifts of the Holy Spirit really happens in us as amanifestation of the apostolic character of our Holy Church.Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O Jesus Christ, in the moment of waitingthe coming of the Holy Spirit, we put our faith in You as our true teacher andLord. Strengthen us with Your blessing and love so that in this moment ofpreparation we will always focus with devotion and prayer. Glory to the Fatherand to the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Samuel Ivan Gunarta from the Parish of Mary of All the Nations in the Diocese of Bogor, Indonesia. Acts of the Apostles 20: 17-27; Rs psalm 68: 10-11.20-21; John 17: 1-11a.EMBRACING THEGLORY OF GOD The theme forour meditation today is: Embracing the Glory of God. There was a young man whosaid that he maintained a relationship with his girlfriend through LDR (longdistance relationship). Her girlfriend lived in her home close to the church,so she often shared photos of praying rosary in basic ecclesial community,church services and Holy Mass celebrations. This was different from the youngman who lived in a remote area far from the church. The visit of the ParishPriest to the village was almost impossible. The spiritual life of the peoplethere was very dry.  Whenever he gotpictures of his girlfriend's spiritual activities, he would pick up the crucifixof the Lord Jesus and draw close to his body or hug it. He often also held therosary tightly and kissed it. He made the crucifix of the Lord Jesus a sign ofrelationship and closeness to God. For him it was an expression of embracingthe glory of God. If we embracethe cross, we embrace the glory of God. Saint Paul experienced how thesuffering of the cross became his daily food. The Holy Spirit helps him and allof us to be able to embrace and bear the cross in our lives. There are peoplewho are ready for it like Saint Paul, but there are many who are not ready. So,the Lord Jesus prayed for those who were not ready for their crosses, so thatthey would not have to worry or be afraid. He always helps them to take up theircrosses. Jesus' prayer isrealized through the Holy Spirit who helps us to carry our own crosses. TheHoly Spirit helps us to love the cross, embrace it, and bear it. We must holdfirst before carrying it. That means we are willing and confident to accept it.If we hold or hug something or someone, we love it, and we are careful not tofall to the ground. We love the cross we carry and keep it from falling ormoving to someone else. The cross is ourvictory and glory. Through the cross comes the conquest of sin and salvation isachieved as righteousness for us. What does embracing God's glory mean? First,because Jesus Himself reveals that glory to us, especially when He prays for us.Second, Jesus offered an infinite abundance of life and this illustrates aglory of God. The glory of God means the abundance of His mercy and goodness. Third, we thusknow God personally. A person can be known personally and deeply through thesuffering of his life. We know the Lord Jesus personally and deeply through Hissuffering and cross. Fourth, we also experience the glory of God throughservice to those who suffer. The cross signifies Jesus Christ being united withsinful and suffering people. So we embrace the glory of God basically meansthat we experience God very clearly in our lives. Let us pray. In thename of the Father... O good God, help us to always put Your glory first in allour efforts and duties. Hail Mary, full of grace... In the name of the Father...

Friends of the Rosary,Tomorrow, May 13, is the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of the Rosary.Last week, Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass at the Pontifical Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary of Pompeii, solemnly reciting the Supplication to the Virgin of the Rosary of Pompeii, which takes place every year on May 8 and on the first Sunday of October.After greeting disabled persons and venerating the relics of the shrine's founder, St. Bartolo Longo, the Pontiff recalled in his homily: “I had to come here, therefore, to place my service under the protection of the Blessed Virgin.”"The Hail Mary is an invitation to joy: it tells Mary, and in her to all of us, that on the rubble of our humanity tried by sin and therefore always inclined to prevarications, oppression, and wars, came the caress of God, the caress of mercy, which takes on a human face in Jesus. Mary thus becomes the Mother of Mercy. Disciple of the Word and instrument of his Incarnation, she truly reveals herself to be “full of grace.” Everything in her is grace!""Everything happens in the power of the Holy Spirit, who overshadows Mary and makes her virginal womb fruitful. This moment in history has a sweetness and power that attract the heart and bring it to that contemplative height in which the prayer of the Holy Rosary sprouts. A prayer which, having arisen and developed progressively in the second millennium, has its roots in the history of salvation, and it is precisely in the Angel's Greeting to the Virgin that it has as its prelude."“Hail Mary!” The repetition of this prayer in the Rosary is like the echo of Gabriel's greeting, an echo that spans the centuries and guides the believer's gaze to Jesus, seen with the eyes and heart of the Mother. Jesus adored, contemplated, assimilated in each of his mysteries, so that with Saint Paul we can say: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me” (Gal 2:19). Preceded by the proclamation of the Word of God, set between the Our Father and the Glory Be, the Hail Mary that is repeated in the Holy Rosary is an act of love."“From this Shrine, whose façade St. Bartolo Longo conceived as a monument to peace, today we raise our Supplication with faith,” Pope Leo added. “Jesus told us that all things can be achieved by prayer made in faith (cf. Mt 21:22). And St. Bartholo Longo, thinking of Mary's faith, defines her as ‘omnipotent by grace.' Through her intercession, may there come from the God of peace an outpouring of mercy that touches hearts, appeases resentment and fratricidal hatred, and enlightens those who have special responsibilities of government.”Alleluia! Christ is Risen!Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

The Minnesota Wild earn their first home win in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs since 2014. Ryan Carter and John King walked tall into the studio, albeit a bit stinky from the block party shenanigans last night, but no other way to celebrate this win AND all the Mothers on their special day, than to to deliver a recap of game 3. Joe O'Donnell and Kevin Gorg jump-in to give their flowers to the entire fanbase, along with so many key pieces on the ice last night. Happy Mother's Day everyone! Celebrate all the Mom's along with last nights win, but be ready for another tilt tomorrow night!

Homily from the Sixth Sunday of Easter. Hope that is not tested is hope that cannot be trusted. How do we grow in hope? Saint Paul tells us: through affliction that leads to a new level of trust in the God who loves us. Mass Readings from May 10, 2026: Acts 8:5-8, 14-17 Psalm 66:1-3, 4-7, 16, 201 Peter 3:15-18 John 14:15-21

Round 2 Game 2, and a Rocky Mountain start for the Minnesota Wild.  John King and Ryan Carter are joined in studio by #21, fan favorite rink side reporter Kevin Gorg, for a cinco de mayo celebration that ultimately ended with the Colorado Avalanche taking a series lead 2-0.  Now the Minnesota Wild have a few days to rest, and like our hosts have said in the past, hopefully "rest is a weapon."  Saturdays game in Saint Paul is sure to be an electric atmosphere, and will kick off at 5pm with a block party leading into a watch party on West 7th St.  Come down to Saint Paul whether you have tickets or not, and enjoy a live experience with the hosts of Wild on 7th, the Red Bull DJ truck, beverages, and more.  The Minnesota Wild look to even up the series on home ice, and Grand Casino Arena is going to be rocking.  

In this episode of St. Anthony's Tongue, we ask a simple but deeply important question: Does God dwell within us?Many Catholics have heard Saint Paul's words that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, but we often reduce that teaching to a warning label about sin rather than a mystical truth about God's nearness. From Scripture, Catholic theology, and the lives of the mystics, we explore the indwelling of God, the Holy Spirit within the soul, and why prayer is not about summoning a distant God.This episode is especially for anyone struggling with scrupulosity, spiritual anxiety, dryness in prayer, or the fear that God is far away. Catholic mysticism does not teach that we are God, nor is it New Age spirituality or Gnosticism. It teaches something far more beautiful: by grace, the living God makes His home within us.We'll look at the temple language of Saint Paul, the promise of Christ in John 14, the indwelling Trinity, sanctifying grace, contemplative prayer, and the witness of saints and mystics like St. Teresa of Ávila, St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, and St. Augustine.God is not far away. You do not have to summon Him. By grace, He is already nearer than you think.

Many people report apparitions of their loved ones after death, and even of loved dogs and cats. But how do these after-death communications align with the Christian teaching of the resurrection of the body? In this episode of the Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues, Rupert Sheldrake and Mark Vernon explore the evidence for the post-mortem appearances of humans and non-humans, and ask how it fits with the accounts of Jesus's resurrection in the Bible. The appearance of Jesus to the disciples and others is often taken as evidence of a physical revival of Jesus after his crucifixion but a subtler, arguably more compelling interpretation is that after-death communications are relatively common - which is the experience the disciples had. Then, the resurrection of Jesus shows something about the nature of the spiritual body,  as Saint Paul calls the body that awaits us. But what to make of the empty tomb that had contained the body of Jesus and the variety of activities Jesus reportedly engaged in after his resurrection, and what this might mean for existence after death and the presence of other worlds that are also here and now?Find 100 more conversations with myself and Rupert online.

On this episode of A One Pint Stand, I sit down with Ben Hebel and Shaena Leik, the brewers who craft the excellent beers at Dual Citizen Brewing Company in Saint Paul, Minnesota.  We had a great conversation about what they brew, how they approach brewing, and what it is like to share a brewhouse with Venn Brewing. It is an enlightening beer chat, so give a listen!  Cheers.If you liked the show and want to support the A One Pint Stand, consider joining our Patreon.  There is some great bonus content that our Patreon supporters enjoy that give a fun peek behind the scenes.

Full Text of Readings Memorial of Saint Athanasius, Bishop and Doctor of the Church Lectionary: 284 The Saint of the day is Saint Athanasius Saint Athanasius' Story Athanasius led a tumultuous but dedicated life of service to the Church. He was the great champion of the faith against the widespread heresy of Arianism, the teaching by Arius that Jesus was not truly divine. The vigor of his writings earned him the title of doctor of the Church. Born of a Christian family in Alexandria, Egypt, and given a classical education, Athanasius became secretary to Alexander, the bishop of Alexandria, entered the priesthood and was eventually named bishop himself. His predecessor, Alexander, had been an outspoken critic of a new movement growing in the East—Arianism. When he assumed his role as bishop of Alexandria, he continued the fight against Arianism. At first, it seemed that the battle would be easily won and that Arianism would be condemned. Such, however, did not prove to be the case. The Council of Tyre was called and for several reasons that are still unclear, the Emperor Constantine exiled Athanasius to northern Gaul. This was to be the first in a series of travels and exiles reminiscent of the life of Saint Paul. After Constantine died, his son restored him as bishop. This lasted only a year, however, for he was deposed once again by a coalition of Arian bishops. He took his case to Rome, and Pope Julius I called a synod to review the case and other related matters. Five times Athanasius was exiled for his defense of the doctrine of Christ's divinity. During one period of his life, he enjoyed 10 years of relative peace—reading, writing, and promoting the Christian life along the lines of the monastic ideal to which he was greatly devoted. His dogmatic and historical writings are almost all polemic, directed against every aspect of Arianism. Among his ascetical writings, his Life of St. Anthony achieved astonishing popularity and contributed greatly to the establishment of monastic life throughout the Western Christian world. Reflection Athanasius suffered many trials while he was bishop of Alexandria. He was given the grace to remain strong against what probably seemed at times to be insurmountable opposition. Athanasius lived his office as bishop completely. He defended the true faith for his flock, regardless of the cost to himself. In today's world we are experiencing this same call to remain true to our faith, no matter what.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

The Minnesota Wild take game 5 in Dallas, and take the series lead as they return to the silver city of Saint Paul for a Thursday night tilt. Kevin Gorg and Joe O'Donnell join King and Carts for a full recap. The guys discuss some superstitions amongst the broadcast team, some power pony tails, and some shiny pocket change, that truly could be the difference makers. Wild with Trenin and Zuccy back in the lineup, played a poised game, and the fan base enjoyed a calm and collected squad that was deep in enemy territory. Game 6 at Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul is going to be electric. Enough Minnesota Nice, take the last cookie, eat the last nacho, don't hold the door for anyone, it's playoff hockey, and the Wild are on the verge of taking round 1! Let's Go. (13.)

Transformed by the Light of Christ The Gospel from Gospel of John emphasizes that true life comes through receiving the Body and Blood of Christ. Jesus teaches that whoever partakes in Him remains united with Him and gains eternal life. The Homily connects this teaching to the dramatic conversion of Saint Paul. Though Saul was actively persecuting Christians, Christ sought him out first . . . revealing that God takes the initiative in seeking us. Through this encounter, Saul is transformed, illustrating that encountering Christ brings about a “new creation.” Believers are Truly United with Jesus A key insight is that Christ identifies personally with His followers (“Why are you persecuting me?”), showing that believers are truly united with Him. This unity extends to how we treat others—what we do to others, we do to Christ. Finally, the Eucharist is presented as both nourishment and mission: receiving Christ in the Eucharist gives spiritual strength and eternal life, while also calling us to become Christ to others. We are urged not to take this gift for granted, but to allow it to transform our lives.

Full Text of Readings Monday of the Fourth Week of Easter Lectionary: 279 The Saint of the day is Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort's Story Louis's life is inseparable from his efforts to promote genuine devotion to Mary, the mother of Jesus and mother of the Church. Totus tuus (“completely yours”) was Louis's personal motto; Pope John Paul II chose it as his episcopal motto. Born in the Breton village of Montfort, close to Rennes, France, as an adult Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort identified himself by the place of his baptism instead of his family name, Grignion. After being educated by the Jesuits and the Sulpicians, he was ordained a diocesan priest in 1700. Soon he began preaching parish missions throughout western France. His years of ministering to the poor prompted him to travel and live very simply, sometimes getting him into trouble with Church authorities. In his preaching, which attracted thousands of people back to the faith, Father Louis recommended frequent, even daily, Holy Communion—not the custom then!—and imitation of the Virgin Mary's ongoing acceptance of God's will for her life. Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort founded the Missionaries of the Company of Mary, for priests and brothers, and the Daughters of Wisdom, who cared especially for the sick. His book True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin has become a classic explanation of Marian devotion. Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort died in Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre, where a basilica has been erected in his honor. He was canonized in 1947, and his liturgical feast is celebrated on April 28. Reflection Like Mary, Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort experienced challenges in his efforts to follow Jesus. Opposed at times in his preaching and in his other ministries, Louis knew with Saint Paul, “Neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who causes the growth” (1 Corinthians 3:7). Any attempt to succeed by worldly standards runs the risk of betraying the Good News of Jesus. Mary is “the first and most perfect disciple,” as the late Sulpician Father Raymond Brown described her.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Beneath the streets of Saint Paul, the city doesn't just go quiet...It changes. The temperature never shifts. The air never moves. And down there, sound doesn't disappear, it lingers. For over a century, those tunnels have been used for everything from mining… to nightclubs… to hiding some of the most dangerous men in America. But one night in 1934, something happened that was never written down. Three men sat at a table. Gunfire echoed through the caves. And by the time the police arrived...there was nothing left. No bodies. No blood.Just bullet holes in the stone… and a game that was never finished.   YouTube -  https://www.youtube.com/@HauntedAmericanHistory hauntedamericanhistory.com Patreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGH Barnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334 AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68S   Ebook GOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1 KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_ SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316       !!

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/01/26), Hank continues the trek from Palm Sunday—when Jesus Christ rode into Jerusalem precisely the way that Zechariah said he would—to Easter. Yesterday, Hank began to talk about the four-part argument that Saint Paul gives in 1 Corinthians 15, which underscores that Christ has, in fact, risen from the dead. Today, Hank moves on to the second part of the argument, the empty tomb. As it is incontrovertible that Christ suffered fatal torment, so too, it is certain beyond reasonable doubt that Christ was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea and that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. Were it not true, Christianity would not have survived the tomb containing the remains of the Messiah. As the reliability of the resurrection is undermined in the media, Christians must be prepared to demonstrate that Jesus was buried and that on Easter morning, some two thousand years ago, the tomb was indeed empty. Hank also addresses a question that comes up often on the Bible Answer Man broadcast, “Was Jesus really in the grave for three days and three nights?”

Read OnlineWhen Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping, he became perturbed and deeply troubled, and said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Sir, come and see.” And Jesus wept. John 11:32–35Jesus' humanity shines clearly in today's Gospel. In the face of Lazarus' death, Jesus is deeply moved by the grief around Him. The Gospel says He “became deeply distressed and troubled” and eventually “wept.” The Greek word for “deeply distressed,” embrimaomai, suggests a strong emotional disturbance, even indignation or anger. It could be translated as “He snorted in spirit,” indicating an involuntary, visceral response from the depth of His soul. Some commentators suggest Jesus' anger wasn't directed at the people weeping but at the reality of death itself, caused by sin. As God, Jesus knew death was never part of the Father's original plan for humanity. From a divine perspective, He saw death as a consequence of sin. From this point of view, death provoked righteous indignation and deeply troubled His human heart.As the passage continues, Jesus' humanity is powerfully portrayed in the shortest verse in the Bible: “And Jesus wept.” Why did He weep? Saint Paul reminds us in Hebrews: “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). Jesus' tears show us that the Holy Trinity knows human pain firsthand. The Incarnate Son allowed Himself to experience sorrow, and the Father and the Holy Spirit shared in this sorrow through Him.It's important to note that Jesus' sorrow was different from the weeping of Lazarus' sisters and the others present. Jesus' weeping uses the Greek word edakrysen, which means “to shed tears” or “weep silently.” His tears were personal, controlled, intimate, heartfelt, and full of divine compassion. In contrast, the weeping of the others is described by the Greek word klaió, meaning loud wailing, a typical expression of communal and ritualistic mourning at the time. Jesus' grief was neither ritualistic nor excessive; it was intimate and heartfelt, born from personal sorrow and divine compassion.We must never forget Jesus' deep compassion, empathy, and sorrow. His human heart feels the same emotions we do—He grieves when we grieve, shares in our pain, and is moved by the hold sin has on us. After feeling these emotions at Lazarus' death, Jesus stood outside the tomb and “cried out in a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come out!'” (John 11:43). We can imagine the passion behind His command. In our lives, when we are tempted in sin or burdened by human weakness, we must hear Jesus calling us to freedom with the same divine authority and human passion. Reflect today on Jesus' humanity and how He perfectly understands everything we experience. His deep empathy for our suffering and His joy when we rise with His grace show us how intimately He knows us. God became one of us in every way, sharing in our human condition—though without sin—so that we might share in His divinity. Ponder His humanity and let His closeness draw you to Him, giving you a share in His divine life. Most compassionate Lord, You experienced human nature in its fullness. Though You never sinned, You allowed Yourself to feel the effects of our sin and suffering, filling them with Your divine compassion. Help me to always remember Your humanity, knowing that through it, I come to share in Your divinity. Jesus, I trust in You.Image - Milan - resurrection of Lazarus from San Giorgio church Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.
