Now the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread were only two
days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were
scheming to arrest Jesus secretly and kill Him. “But not during the
festival,” they said, “or the people may riot.” (Mark 14: 1-2)
Jesus is God; He’s the Messiah. He’s 100% divine, bodily resurrected
from the dead. He’s on Facebook and YouTube. He’s eating oysters at
Kelly’s after shopping at Wal-Mart. Jesus hangs out wherever people
are.
Jesus loves those on the margins and fringes. Those who don’t
belong and even those who do. Everyone is invited to His party!
Contrary to what an east coast priest and a west coast scribe make
money saying, Jesus is what the Holy Bible says He is. I attest that
years of solid Jesuit academic theological study have not educated
out of me what I knew at age 10: Jesus is my Savior, He is my Lord.
The world beholds His glory, full of grace and truth; the Word made
flesh 2016 years ago, the Spirit among us this very day.
Call me a schemer, tell me I might upset people or incite a riot. Oh to
be like Him and cause even a tiny stir!
He poured Himself out; He gave everything for everyone on this tiny
planet. I’ve given up a few possessions, memorized some verses and
done a lot of volunteering.
Oh to be like Jesus; just to see Him and be Him in everything I do.

Thank you Sharon. The secret of Lent is to slow down and as you say "see him and be him in everything I do."
