    Human life must be respected and protected absolut Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception. From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person - among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life. (CCC 2270) #scotus #prochoice #prolifemovement

Give me your hand; put it into my side. Doubt no longer but believe.’ Thomas replied, ‘My Lord and my God!’ #doubt #faith
    Two words in the Christian vocabulary that are oft Two words in the Christian vocabulary that are often forgotten are ‘repentance’ and ‘forgiveness’. In today’s gospel, Jesus reminds us that, “[I]n his name, repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to all the nations.” Indeed, repentance and forgiveness are at the very heart of the gospel. So why do we not hear them very often? The power of recognising our need to repent is that it humbles us and helps us acknowledge our own challenges, temptations and struggles. As we acknowledge these and repent, we are much better placed to stand in solidarity with all of humanity, recognising that we all need to repent, and we all need forgiveness. Whilst talk of repentance can be at times confronting and offensive, repentance is the way of salvation. We must go down before we come up; we must acknowledge our sin before it is forgiven; we must die with Christ before being raised to new life. Christ’s death and resurrection are only good news to those who recognise their need for salvation. The grace of Christ’s death and resurrection is that, for those who repent, there is forgiveness. Through repentance, we are set free, the burden of sin is cast off, and we are absolved. The strength of the Catholic is not that we are perfect, but rather that we are forgiven. Holy Spirit, help us to see ourselves as we are, be willing to repent of all that is broken in us and receive the joy of forgiveness. #jesus #crucifixion #forgiveness

    Today is the darkest day of the liturgical calenda Today is the darkest day of the liturgical calendar. The light of the world is snuffed out at the hands of men. In Jesus’ arrest and trial we see how threatened the Pharisees and other political powers are by Jesus. What becomes clear in Jesus’ trial is that he has no interest in the kind of power they wield, so he is no threat to those who felt the most threatened. Jesus states, ‘mine is not a kingdom of this world.’ Is he a king? Yes, but of another kind of kingdom. The whole scene is the literal story of what still takes place metaphorically in our lives and in the world today. Jesus is the truth, and he states that he “came into the world for this; to bear witness to the truth, and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.” The truth continues to confront and threaten people of all persuasions, cultures, and lifestyles. The truth is often uncomfortable, at times demands something of us and can needle our conscience when we try to ignore it. Like the Pharisees, we are often threatened by the truth and try to create alternative versions of the truth. We grasp for reasons and arguments to support our account of reality. There’s the sense that if we can get rid of the truth altogether, then we will feel much more comfortable with our truth – the reality we’ve created. This is precisely what the Pharisees do – they move to crucify the truth. Truth, of course, is more than an idea, a proposition, or a doctrine. Truth is a person; his name is Jesus. As we contemplate the crucifixion today, let’s reflect on how we’ve at times sought to crucify the truth. Let’s recognise that we too nail Jesus to the cross when we move to crucify the truth. Let’s also reflect on the fact that in this darkest moment, Jesus takes all that is untrue in us onto himself so that our sin and brokenness can be nailed to the cross (2 Corinthians 5:21). The light of the world is snuffed out. The Lamb of God has been slain. The hope of the world is dead. But with him, so has all our sin. Holy Spirit, as we contemplate the Passion, help us to see how and when we’ve crucified the truth. Heal us today through the Passion of our Lord. #crucifixion #easter #thecross
