Day 53 – The Crown of Thorns
By David Vermont
The crowning of thorns marks fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham. Recall that Abraham was asked to offer his first born son as a sacrifice to God. Jesus is the first born son of Mary and the Son of God whom sacrifices himself to the Father.

Anyone for Tennis?
Anyone for Tennis?
By David Torkington
I was incensed when an American commentator said the English are not really interested in tennis, they're just mad on Wimbledon. But when I thought about it, I had to admit that there was more than a grain of truth in what she said. I could name at least half a dozen people who plan their holidays to coincide with Wimbledon fortnight.

Two Faces Of Eve
Two Faces Of Eve
By Mary Rivers
All have two faces: the veiled illusionary face of our sinful lives; and the unveiled joyful face when sin has been forsaken. Decades of clothing the veiled self with decadent pleasures with little true substance hide the image of following the will of the One who creates man to be his sons and daughters.

Between Augustine and Fundamentalism on the 1,000 Years: a Balance with Private Revelation?
Between Augustine and Fundamentalism on the 1,000 Years: a Balance with Private Revelation?
By Scott Pauline
In light of this modern spiritual darkness over much of what was Christendom in earlier times, it is so stupid to say the dragon is chained just because the Eucharist is on earth. Jesus reigns in Apocalypse 12 from heaven, but the dragon is not chained.

Day 52 – Barabbas
Day 52 – Barabbas
By David Vermont
Who is the man that is spared in place of Jesus? Little is known about him for certain. Some authorities say he is a thief, others a murderer. Some suggest that he was a political revolutionary that killed a Roman soldier in a riot. Sometimes he is called “Jesus Barabbas”, sometimes just “Barabbas”.

Return to Sender
By Joni Johnson
When I was ready to make my first foray into the "world" (off to college!), I received a very precious gift. The giver had put a lot of time, energy, and talent into the gift. They were not expecting anything in return. The present was simply to be a blessing to my life.

The Best Metabolism Boost... For Your Soul
The Best Metabolism Boost... For Your Soul
By Caroline Godin
When I first wake up in the morning, I stretch, sometimes for longer than I have time for but it feels good. It’s also healthy; it gets your joints moving and your blood flowing. It’s a great metabolism boost. I may not pop out of bed immediately after, but it gets me moving better than if I hadn’t.

A Vestige of Turmoil in a World Without God
By Ralph Hathaway
We are living in a time where lack of faith in God, mistrust in government, and disillusionment with each other has become a way of life for too many people, whose belief in something positive has blossomed into doubt and produced far too much anxiety and depression

Why do we celebrate the saints?
Why do we celebrate the saints?
By Flávia Ghelardi
In Brazil, we have in June, the traditional “June Festivals,” originating from the celebrations of Saint Anthony (on the 13th), Saint John the Baptist (on the 24th) and Saint Peter (on the 29th). In these festivals, we have special dances, typical food, different games, bonfires, fireworks, all in honor of those dear saints. But what is the reason the Catholic Church honors the memory of the saint

Day 51 – Caiaphas
Day 51 – Caiaphas
By David Vermont
Today we read about the arrest and trial of Jesus. Many false witnesses are produced but none can produce evidence sufficient to convict Jesus. Despite the many accusations Jesus remains silent. Eventually he is accused of saying he will tear down the temple and rebuild it in three days. Still he remains silent.

How to love the sinner
How to love the sinner
By Susan Skinner
There's a saying that says, "Love the sinner, hate the sin," but in today's world we often see the acceptance of sin and we call people Pharisees if they believe the law should be followed. But there is a distinction between people who have love in their hearts and follow the law, and those who only follow the law but have no love.
