Monday of Holy Week According to Scripture

Honoring Jewish Roots
Today is the 5th Friday of Lent. Sunday we will begin the journey of Holy Week. So often we forget to honor the roots of our Christian Faith; Judaism. Christ was a Jew. Without the Jewish people and their relationship to the Lord, none of us are saved. It’s that simple.

Today is the 5th Sunday in Lent. We are beyond the half-way point of our Lenten Journey. If you had a Complete Edition of the Sunday Missal you would see that the theme of this day is to be an optimist. Look to the future with hope. Believe in hope.

Easter Sunday is tied to the cycle of the moon. Ash Wednesday signals the start of the Lenten Season, 46 calendar days before Easter Sunday. Since Easter is moveable, so too is Lent. Which means Laetare Sunday is not set to a particular date but rather occures on fourth Sunday in the Lenten Cycle.

Elizabeth, the wife of Zachariah, was now in her sixth month of pregnancy. The fact that Elizabeth was with child at all was a miracle in and of itself. For she was well beyond her child bearing years. But then nothing is impossible for the Lord.

While not everyone believes that Gabriel was an Archangel, as a Catholic I do. I believe there are seven named Archangels, although there could be more. Gabriel is among them, as is Michael and Raphael.

Here we are on yet another Sunday in Lent. Remember, Sundays fall IN Lent, since it would be impossible to remove Sundays from the cycle, but they are not OF Lent. One little word can make all the difference.

Today is National Crunchy Taco Day. Now I love chunchy tacos as much as the next guy. What I love more than the crack of a taco shell is the challange of eating a tostada without getting everying down the front of my blouse.

Saint Joseph was an amazing man. It’s a shame that we don’t know more about God’s chosen foster father who watched over Jesus at least until age 12. All we can do is speculate using the facts that we have been given and draw a few conclusions.

There are two days a year when everyone seems willing to change their nationalities. The first is today, when everyone is Irish. The other is May 5, when the entire state of California embraces their Mexican roots.
