Sr. Phyllis Jaszkowiak
Good Friday
March 30, 2018


We come to reverence, to venerate the Cross
and love the One who gave His life,
for the poor, the forgotten, the vulnerable of this world.
He was killed because he preached against power over others,
against exploitation of others,
against grabbing all the things of earth
so most have nothing with which to live.
“What killed Christ is what continues to crucify today:
disregard for human life and human dignity,
lust for power, materialism, [racism], violence.
What gives life is faith and love.”  (Verna Holyhead)

A telling of a story from the Gospel of Mark
 
My name is Salome, and I have been with him since the beginning of the movement, nearly three years now. I am the wife of Zebedee, the mother of James and John. I’ll never forget the day he came and beckoned my sons to follow him, and they immediately dropped their fishing nets and went after him. You may not know this, but so did I.

We Would Like to See Jesus

Fifth Sunday of Lent
March 18, 2018

“Sir, we would like to see Jesus.” A simple enough request, but actually quite profound.
 
Here’s the recap. Some non-Jews have come up to Jerusalem for the Passover. They've heard about this controversial miracle-worker Jesus, heard that he's around. Like concert goers at a stage door, they sidle up to Philip: "Sir, we would like to see Jesus" (Jn 12:21). For some reason, Philip isn't sure they can; he checks it out with Andrew. Andrew doesn't know what to say, so he and Philip take it straight to Jesus himself: "Master, a group of Greeks are anxious to see you. No appointment. Not our kind, but seem like good guys, up for the feast. What do we tell them?"

Fourth Sunday of Lent

Believe in Jesus and you will be Saved!!! Says the Billboard along highways across our nation. Ok, Well what does that mean?  Here is what it has come to mean; the turning of the gospel message that is Love and liberation into the exact opposite. A bumper sticker theology used to exclude.  Surface level, 21 century literal, mental magic, a four-word spell that MAKES God love us but not the other.   It is a lie!!!

Third Sunday in Lent

In any lasting relationship there are good days, okay days, and bad days. Clearly this is a bad day in the relationship of Jesus and the Jews. Jesus loses it! It’s the only Gospel story, that I can recall, where Jesus gets really angry.

Lenten Evening Prayer

As I reflect on these words, I think about my reaction when I see a "homeless" person begging. To be honest, I size them up.  I ask myself questions like.  "Do you think they will by booze or food?"  "Will it help them have a roof over their head or help them get high?"
