This is the hour when the King of martyrs offered his life in the upper room and laid it down on the cross. Let us thank him and say:
We praise you, O Lord.
We praise you, O Lord, our Savior, inspiration and example for every martyr, for loving us to the end:
We praise you, O Lord.
For calling all repentant sinners to the rewards of life:
We praise you, O Lord.
For entrusting to your Church the blood of the new and everlasting covenant poured out for the remission of sin:
We praise you, O Lord.
For our perseverance in your grace today:
We praise you, O Lord.
For incorporating our dead brothers and sisters into your own death today:
We praise you, O Lord.

Thursday Gospel Reflection: On Letting Go
One of the Gospels this week narrates how Jesus sends out the Twelve to carry out the ministry He has started. At the same time, Jesus gives them very specific and rather ‘unusual’ instructions — to bring with them only a walking stick, and to shake the dust off their feet in places where they find themselves unwelcome. In this 2018 Post, My Reflection briefly explores what those instructions practically mean to us as Catholics in present day, and how such directives from the Lord can spiritually guide us in our life journey.
