My Lord and God, You are the Messiah, the Son of God, the Savior of the World. I love and adore You with all my soul. Draw me into deep worship of You, making it my first and greatest priority, so that from that act of charity, all good things will flow. Jesus, I trust in You.

Six days before Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. They gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with him. Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil made from genuine aromatic nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and dried them with her hair; the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. John 12:1–3

What an ass! Let’s make sure his popularity as a real jerk soars!

Damn. I’m sure there’s a U.S. / Iran analogy in there somewhere.

Sacrificial Lamb of God, You entered Jerusalem as the new and perfect Lamb of Sacrifice, whose blood would be shed for the salvation of all who turn to You. Please open my heart, dear Lord, to receive all You wish to bestow upon me. Fill me with the virtues You possessed, so that my life will be united to Yours and Your Sacrifice will become alive in me. Jesus, I trust in You.

6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; 7 they brought the ass and the colt, and put their garments on them, and he sat thereon. 8 Most of the crowd spread their garments on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” 10 And when he entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, “Who is this?” 11 And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee.” Matthew 21: 6-11

@MarioNawfal @AlanEyre1 What do you expect from a man whose plan failed miserably to deter Iran from its nuclear ambitions?!!? Interviewing these mental midgets is a waste of time.

🚨🇮🇷 IRAN MAY ACTUALLY HAVE THE UPPER HAND Alan Eyre, former U.S. diplomat, Iran nuclear negotiator, says leverage isn’t purely military. He says control of Hormuz gives Iran real power. @AlanEyre1

My determined Lord, You were fully committed to fulfill Your divine mission. As the Messiah, You were the New Temple, High Priest, Altar, and Lamb of Sacrifice. You are also the Good Shepherd, leading all of Your sheep to imitate You and to lay their lives down for others. Please give me Your wisdom and courage so that I am prepared to follow You into Holy Week and lay my life down in union with You. Jesus, I trust in You.

The Jews picked up rocks to stone Jesus. Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me?” The Jews answered him, “We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God.” John 10:31–33 Although the religious authorities tried to arrest Jesus in the Temple, He escaped their grasp and retreated across the Jordan River to the place where John the Baptist had baptized. He remained there for some time, nurturing His followers’ faith in preparation for the events of Passover. Many who came to Him during this period testified, “‘John performed no sign, but everything John said about this man was true.’ And many there began to believe in Him” (John 10:42).

This is fantastic! God bless this man!

My divine Lord, You were in the beginning before the world was created, existing from all eternity with the Father and the Holy Spirit. At a particular moment in time, You took on flesh and became man. You will come again in glory at the end of the ages to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and every other truth You have revealed. I open myself to all that You still wish to say, so that I may come to know and believe most fully. Jesus, I trust in You.

“Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and was glad.” So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old and you have seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM.” So they picked up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid and went out of the temple area. John 8:56–59

Most holy Mother of God, today we commemorate, with great solemnity, your “Yes” to God’s will, revealed to you through the Archangel. Your fiat inaugurated the beginnings of salvation, won through the merits of your Son. Please pray for me, that I will imitate your faith and cooperation with grace so that your Son’s Incarnation will continue through me today. Come, Holy Spirit, overshadow me as You did the Blessed Virgin, that Christ may be born anew in me today. Mother Mary, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.

“Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his Kingdom there will be no end.” Luke 1:30–33

Damn…. That HR took some strength @grady_lenahan25 with the 2 run 💣 His 5th of the year

My demanding Lord, You call me to perfection because You love me. Because of my sin, I often resist the many ways that You speak to me, trying to draw me into the full truth. Please open my heart and remove all obstinacy so that I will willingly change so as to ascend the glorious staircase toward Divine Union. Jesus, I trust in You.

John 8: 23-30 23 He said to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. 24 I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he.” 25 They said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Even what I have told you from the beginning.t 26 I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him.” 27 They did not understand that he spoke to them of the Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak thus as the Father taught me. 29 And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him.” 30 As he spoke thus, many believed in him.

Most merciful Savior, my sin requires punishment, and You have paid that punishment, fulfilling all justice. Please forgive me and be merciful. As You do, help me to see the ways I need to repent, convert, and offer mercy to others, to the same extent that You have been merciful to me. Jesus, I trust in You.

John 8: 4-11 4 they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say about her?” 6 This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 9 But when they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus looked up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and do not sin again.”*
