On the theme of suffering on this Good Friday, there is a pertinent and evocative reflection by James Bogle on OnePeterFive on the bombing of Japanese Catholicism – that is, the unnecessary destruction of Nagasaki on August 9th, 1945, three days after the incineration of Hiroshima on August 6th. We have written of the evils[…]
IT IS DONE! Deep into His Passion; deep into my soul Now is the time! Commit to be whole Sad that it is, my will did part ‘Twas my beginning carried deep in my heart As sunrise came and sunset went Year after year, I lived Duty Lent Oh! How I strived to[…]
Today is the first day of the Divine Mercy Novena which can be found here. Eternal Father, God, You are eternal. Time is not something You exist within. There is no motion in You. You are here and now. All I know is motion and change, and so it is hard for me to wrap[…]
On this Holy Saturday, as come to the end of a long and difficult Lent for so many, these final messages of Pope Saint John Paul II, who, on that Holy Saturday of 2005, his life nearly at its own end, offered such a sublime example of ‘suffering well’, may offer some comfort and consolation:[…]
