Monday of Passion Week

HOLY WEEK IS A SCHOOL OF CHRISTIAN LIVING

The mysteries of the liturgical cycle no only bring new outpourings of the salvific waters of grace; they also enlighten our minds with insights into the ways of God, ever ancient and ever new.  They teach us more of Christ, they show us more of the meaning of our life in Him, they make us grow in Him, they transform us into Him.  Indeed, the liturgy is the great school of Christian living and the transforming force which reshapes our souls and our characters in the likeness of Christ.

Palm Sunday Reflection

Saint Meinrad, IN Archabbey

Saint Meinrad, IN

Hail, Queen Wisdom!

May the Lord protect You,

with your Sister, holy pure Simplicity!...

Holy Wisdom confounds

Satan and all his cunning.

Pur holy Simplicity confounds

all the wisdom of this world

and the wisdom of the body.
