Blessed Are the Meek

  March 31, 2026 Hello!   How is each and every one?   We are now in Holy Week itself, Tuesday of Holy Week. We will be attending The Sacred Easter Paschal Triduum, from Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Black Saturday in our parishes.   The Daily Roman Missal writes:   Christ redeemed us all and gave perfect glory to God principally through his paschal mystery:   dying he destroyed our death and rising he restored our life.   Therefore the Easter Triduum of the Passion and Resurrection of the Lord is the culmination of the entire liturgical year. Thus the solemnity of Easter has the same kind of preeminence in the liturgical year that Sunday has in the week.   Let the paschal fast be kept sacred.   Let it be celebrated everywhere on Good Friday and wherever possible, prolonged throughout Holy Saturday, as a way of coming to the joys of the Sunday of the resurrection with uplifted and welcoming heart. These days are therefore unique in t...

Only Wisdom, Himself Saves Our Ignorance

March 24, 2026   Only Wisdom, Himself Saves Our Ignorance   St Josemaria Institute   Hello!  How is each and every one? Let us return our focus to Christ Crucified. It is truly right and just that we do so, do you agree? It just dawned on me how providential it is that in this season of Lent that we are living through these days, we have started sharing together series of posts on The Cries of Jesus from the Cross. Hopefully we end up truly making Christ’s sentiments our very own and from here onwards throughout our daily life.  It is good for you and for me to acquire them and cultivate them because the whole world expects that we share the goods – material and spiritual - that we already have.  You and I are familiar with the adage that goes “One cannot share what she does not have.” We do not only talk the talk but more edifyingly virtuous is that we walk the talk [cf. Letting Go (Forgiveness), September 23, 2025, Superhabits].     Las...

The Sentiments of Jesus on the Cross

  March 17, 2026   The Sentiments of Jesus on the Cross Hello!   How is each and every one? In my eagerness to start this new series, and respond to the inspiration to share it, I couldn’t find the words to introduce it.   After reading about the first words of Christ from the Cross, I told Him I would like to have the same sentiment.   And from then onwards to the present, I have been praying along that line of “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”   Without any doubt the pronoun ‘they’ included myself because the truth is you and I together with all the others have crucified Christ on the Cross and therefore His first words alluded to you and to myself as much as to the others. I have learned more from the crucifix than from any book. — St. Thomas Aquinas   It is no wonder then why St Josemaria, the Saint of the Ordinary, continues to encourage us in his writings to fall in love with the Sacred Humanity of Jesus Christ. ...
