We spend too much time looking for other ways to be happy- the way we've been given in the risen Christ has been with us all along. Do we love…

In worldly terms, "mercy" tends to be a feeling... but is that feeling what God wants us to experience and give one another?

Why didn't the disciples yet understand the scriptures? Why couldn't they find it in themselves to believe in the truly amazing things that had happened that Easter morning?

Why is this night different than any other? What do the events of this night do to change our lives?

Can the Cross help us to see anything more clearly?

What makes us different as Catholics? Amongst many things, there are two important ones that we celebrate on Holy Thursday.

What is all of this business about on holy week? Why a colt, and why so many of the other mysteries that we encounter?

If we are honest, we've all messed up (I have plenty of my own stories!). Do we handle those mistakes as fools, as liars, or as authentic disciples?

If you delve into the Prodigal Son, perhaps the path to understanding and receiving God's love isn't as complicated as we might make it out to be!
