For 30 May 2022, Monday of the seventh week of Easter, based on John 16:29-33
Jesus’s disciples said, ‘Yes, now you are speaking plainly, not in any figure of speech! Now we know that you know all things, and do not need to have anyone question you; by this we believe that you came from God.’ Jesus answered them, ‘Do you now believe? The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each one to his home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me. I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!’

Thank you for integrating your personal story with the Scripture. For me, if Scripture doesn’t relate to life, it is just an intellectual study. So sorry for your losses, yet inspired by your courage.

So true, Maria what Anonyomous just said. It IS so good when we bring our own personal efforts to hang in there with others who listen…I do homilies on our CSSR website and always check the OP site out and use John Boll´s and Jude Siciliano´s for weekends
