SalC: The Chief Priests and the scribes watched as Jesus entered triumphantly into Jerusalem demonstrating his kingship. The envy which they already have for Jesus quadrupled. They wondered how a commoner (son of carpenter) will just come all of a sudden to steal the show and enrapt multitude of people thereby exposing their hypocrisy filled lives. They couldn't stomach it. The hour of darkness came and they pounced. Not that they only wanted to kill him, they were delighted to mock and maim him as well. If he will not die a horrible death, they wouldn't be satisfied. They made sure he had sores all over his body, however, the head region remained to be busted open. In order to cajole his kingly portfolio they made him a crown. They made sure it was made out of thorns to achieve their aim so that forcing it on his head will bust his head open and impact on him excruciating pains. SMH!! Rapu okwu, Jesus bu odogwu! My dear there's no significance in my opinion just that those guys were hell-bent on maiming Jesus. Let's wait for the opinion of other brethren. 1 Like |

jnrbayano:All the mysteries are very sorrowful but I think the first mystery is the most sorrowful cos that was when he really really thought about the agony ahead. Yes He knew the whole time he was teaching in the synagogue that he was going to die but At the last minute(1st sorrowful), he got very sober that he kinda wished he didn't have to go through it. He also seemed a little frustrated that his disciples were not sensitive to his agony(cos they were snoring each time he returns to them). No one seemed to understand. There was no shoulder for him to lean on. My reflection usually starts right there at the first. By the time he was already handed over to the bad guys, at that point he would just be looking forward to the last mystery so he could return to the father. God's love for us is amazing!!! 2 Likes 4 Shares |

Mk 9:8 And suddenly looking around they nolonger saw any one with them but Jesus. As the lenten season continues there will be a continued and sustained emphasis on change, reformation, repentance...but the sunday readings tells us around what to fashion our change, a continued, random and sustained change will probably lead to chaos and so God shows us the axis around which we should make our rotation of repentance. -The Constant God- In the gospel of mark 8 we see Christ talk about his suffering and death and peter rebuked him, 6 days later Jesus took peter to mount tabor and showed him his glory and peter said "Lord it is good to be here". We are most times like peter, our lives both spiritual, physical, financial... are shaken and changing, there are the days we simply feel like going to heaven with enomous joy in our hearts, there are other day when we have failed our lenten observance and there is a sin using us to play ping pong, the are times of good business, bad business, joy, sorrow, love, indifference, righeousness, sin, virtue and vice, suffering and glory, there are day we are feeling like abraham about to kill his only son and other day we are like peter on mount tabor, today God give us an anchor, a constant, something good that is ever static and that is God himself. Are you happy? give him thanks, sad? look up on him, discontent? then pray to him, are you bitter pour it all out to him, did you fail in your lenten resolve in the first week of lent like I did? Pick up again and moved on look at the fallen Christ on the Calvary way. We have a constant God, ever present, always there, ready to accompany us in all the ups and downs of life, showing us what is true joy on our bitter days, teaching us on our bad day, sharing with us our happy days and accompaning us on the thorny days, he is alway there, he is the first and the last, begining and end, the source and goal of our lives. Place your faith in him, place your trust in him, be in him and for him and say with st Paul "If God be for me who can be against me!!", "If he justifies me who can condemn me?" he is my constant! If I am with him I shall not fear misfortune, sin shall not bug me down, fortune will not make me proud and my joy shall multiply, st Paul says it is Christ who died! It is he who rose, he it is who still interceeds for us. If we believe in so great a God then we will understand the foolish wisdom of the barren abraham who want to sacrifice his son, if my God is ever constant, ever faithful, what is that sin that weighs me down, who is the guys/lady that vexs me, the one I dislike? What is food that i will not abstain? That offense that i will not forgive. My God suffices and me he rid me of my Me-ness and help me trust more and more in him. Let nothing trouble you Let nothing frighten you Everything passes God never changes Patience obtains all Whoever has God Wants for nothing God alone is enough st Theresa soso Chukwu di enuf 5 Likes |

LENTEN BOUQUET: Jer. 17:5-10, Lk. 16:19-31. In this period of Lent the Church in this regard calls out to us frequently so that we may disengage ourselves from the things of earth, and thus fill our hearts with God. The prophet Jeremiah in the first reading calls for absolute trust in God because the Lord looks after a soul which has placed its heart in Him. He who puts his confidence in earthly concerns, whose heart turns from the Lord, is condemned to be barren and ineffective with respect to what really matters. The Lord wants us to be concerned about the things of earth and to love them in the right way but not in the manner that it will turn us away from God. The love and care of wealth of the rich man in today's Gospel landed him in burning furnace. The rich man is so caught up with the things of the world and with his own self-interests that these prevent him from even becoming aware of the needs of another. If we belong to the privileged few of our society, where a good percentage live below the poverty line, we are challenged to take note of them and their very existence. To ignore their plight is to ignore God. Unlike the Pharisees, who used spurious religious reasoning to justify their good fortune, thereby living with a drugged conscience in their private comfort, we are called to be more concern about the welfare of others. May the Lord turn our hearts to Himself, and may He kindle in us the fire of the Holy Spirit, so that we may be steadfast in faith and unwearied in good works! Amen!! Good morning, it is well with you!!! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Hail holy queen, mother of mercy, hail, our lives, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: To thee do we send up our sighs, morning and weeping, in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy towards us. And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen 3 Likes 4 Shares |
