Hallow

live your life with no regret because tomorrow is not promised

From Fr. Dave Pivonka’s Daily Homily today - I remember a friend of mine one time as we were entering Holy Week, he was just very very honest with me and he said, “Father, I just I struggle with this. We go through Holy Week, we do this week after week, year after year.” He said, “I just don't know what to do. It's just the same thing year after year. We have Holy Week, we have Holy Thursday, Good Friday.” I just found myself thinking about that because I think often times that's where we are. We enter into Holy Week, and we know that there's something different about this week. There's something special about this week, but we just kind of go, and if we're honest, it's not different from last year. We just go and do the same thing. But I wonder if we could go into this week - what it would be like if we didn't know the ending. I mean, if I had this superpower that I could go into your mind and I could just erase the spiritual part, the memories in your mind. And imagine if you went into this week with just the things you've heard over the last couple of weeks - what you knew about Jesus, that He spent time with the poor, that He healed the man who was blind, that there was a dead man, Lazarus, and his family was suffering at the loss of him. And Jesus comes to them, and He eases their suffering, and He literally raises a dead man. I mean, for a second, imagine if you didn't know the end of the story. You weren't aware of what's going to happen on Thursday or Friday. And maybe that's how we can enter into this Holy Week. I invite you not to jump to the end of the story, not to jump to Good Friday or Easter Vigil, but just to stop during this week and be where Jesus is. -- Hear the rest on the app.
