Jesus the Lord by Roc O'Connor, S.J.

Based on Jesus Prayer: Phil, 2:5-11; Acts, 17:28 1...Let all creation bend the knee to the Lord. In Him we live, we move and have our being; In Him the Christ, In Him the King! Jesus the Lord. 2...Though Son, He did not cling to Godliness, But emptied Himself, became a slave! Jesus the Lord. 3...He lived obediently His Father's will Accepting His death, death on a cross! Jesus the Lord.

Run With Life: We know the world is upside down when this happens...: The Coronavirus is here. We have people dying all over the world from this horrible pandemic. The world is shut down because of it. Financial markets are in free fall. People have lost their jobs. People of faith are prevented from attending their Church services, their Mosques and their Synagogues. Catholic Christians are prevented from receiving the sacraments including reconciliation, baptisms and the sacraments of the sick for the dying. We can't even enter our churches for private prayer, even if we follow all the social distancing rules.

So what are the pro-abortions up to here in Canada? Unlike many US states, Canada is pathetically still performing abortions. None of the rules the rest of us have to follow apply to killing babies.

In fact the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada has put out a fundraising call for Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights.

Holy Week 2020 - Monday - excerpts from the Mystical City of God

I received this message this morning  ( below ) from Father Hezuk Shroff. Pastor Saint Catherine of Sienna Parish Metcalfe ON Canada.

 " I have put together a PDF document containing excerpts from the Venerable Mary of Agreda's beautiful work, "The Mystical City of God." The title refers to the Virgin Mary, who is the Mystical City in which God dwells more fully than in any other place. Venerable Mary of Agreda was a Spanish nun who lived in the 16th century. Her private revelations are approved by the Catholic Church. 

I thought that you might find this useful for your meditation during Holy Week. The passages in this document speak about the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Our Lord. They are from an abridged version of the Saint's work. The full version contains four volumes and is much longer. This excerpt is from the third volume, called "The Transfixion", which is a reference to Our Lady's Dolorous Heart that was pierced ("transfixed") by a sword during the Passion of her Son. 

Please feel free to pass this along to anyone who you think might be interested and who might profit from it during this Holy Week. This text is out of copyright, so it can be freely distributed. 

God bless!'

Palm Sunday April 5th 2020

 Today  I made a little altar on the small table next to my living room chair and watched the Holy mass on my i pad. It's the first time in my life that I wasn't able to attend mass on Palm Sunday. Seemed very strange but God is everywhere and he was with me of course as I prayed with Jesus, Mary and Joseph by my side. Halfway through the mass I remembered I had a little palm plant so I added it to the altar. 

later on I listened to Cardinal Collins being interviewed by CTV reporter Lisa Laflamme below
