The Silent Protagonist
By Mar Camen

No matter the tortures, Jesus would not turn from His Father.  Will you?
By Troy Kroening
In the agony of the garden, Jesus asks “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me.” He sees His Passion before Him, yet He continues, “still, not my will but yours be done.” [Luke 22:42] He did not want to accept His Passion, but He would not separate Himself from His Father to do so. He lives out the prayer He gave us by submitting His will to ‘thy will be done.’

"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life." – John 6:54
By Troy Kroening
For some, the Catholic Church’s teaching on the Eucharist is hard to believe and sometimes a stumbling block. We must recall that it was when Jesus taught it too! In the Bread of Life discourse in John 6, we find the only time Jesus had disciples leave Him. “As a result of this, many [of] his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him.” – [John 6:66]
