@elonmusk Stunning footage. After 50 years, we’re finally seeing the Moon in high-def with a crew onboard. This is exactly the kind of momentum the space sector needs.

“Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here. He is risen.” Luke 24:5-6

Jesus Christ is Risen today, Alleluia! Only in him and through faithfulness to his Gospel will we and our world know the peace for which we yearn. May this gift be yours on this joyful day and throughout the sacred Season of Easter. The Light has conquered the darkness. Alleluia!

We can identify with Judas because, at times, we have “betrayed” the Lord in not being faithful to what he asks. Yet, he is always there to embrace us in mercy and love so we may begin anew. This week offers us a beautiful invitation to return to him with all our heart.

Good morning friends, Christ is King

Everything in this life will test your faith, and God will allow all of the turbulence to constantly remind you that this place is not your home. A Christian that does not have heaven impressed upon his heart does not understand the gospel or thinks too little of it.

I just saw the much talked about film “Project Hail Mary.” It's very entertaining and uplifting and features a fine performance from Ryan Gosling. But what most intrigued me were the powerful Christian themes at play in it. The title, of course, refers to the Hail Mary pass in football, since the adventure undertaken is a fairly desperate attempt to save the planet. But it also becomes eminently clear that the reference is not just to football but to the Blessed Mother herself, for the Gosling character is undoubtedly a Christ-figure. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but it involves a willingness to sacrifice one's life utterly in order to deliver the entire human race from disaster. It is, of course, no accident that Gosling's character is called Ryland Grace, for throughout the movie, his presence and actions constitute undeserved favor to others. A particularly intriguing character in the film is a sober German scientist who relentlessly presses Grace to make the supreme sacrifice, even when he is unwilling. She represented for me the great moral demand that presses upon us throughout our lives, continually summoning us to self-gift. A last observation: Jesus had a second in command whom he called Peter (the Rock); Ryland Grace has a very unusual sidekick whom he calls “Rocky.” I'll leave it at that. I know lots of people say that Christianity is in irreversible decline and that we are inhabiting, at least in the West, a post-Christian society. I'm not so sure. Like it or not, we remain a Christ-haunted culture—and a film like “Project Hail Mary” makes this clear.

If you have not personally experienced the transforming power of Jesus’ love or seen it in people close to you, hearing about it can seem unbelievable or even scandalous. But Jesus’ power to transform is very real. He gives us our true identity. He restores what has been broken. He fulfills the deepest longings of our heart. He calms our greatest fears. He enters into the worst evil and defeats it. He forgives all sin. He redeems lost time. He is victorious over death. He gives us eternal life. Only if we let Him. Ask, seek, knock. Trust Him. Surrender everything to Him. His generosity is endless.

It’s a fool’s errand living to please people. Jesus came eating and drinking, He was called a drunkard. John the baptist came not eating and drinking, they said he had a demon. At the end of the day, we can only commend ourselves to God who knows the motives of the heart.

BREAKING: The UK just legalized abortion up to birth. Babies can now be killed at any age, under any circumstance—even when they can survive outside the womb.  Lord, have mercy.

This is what late-term abortion looks like. A fully developed child is stabbed in the heart and poisoned to death. It’s not “healthcare” It’s not “empowering” It’s murder.
