    Staying close to Jesus | Palm Sunday Reflection

    As we begin Holy Week, Fr. Bill Woody, S.J. reminds us that Jesus "comes not to conquer...but to liberate and to save." He reflects on Jesus' desire for us to "remain close" to him, just as he asked of his disciples before his Passion. Fr. Bill tells us that we, too, "are invited this week to a difficult grace: to remain close to Jesus...[even] in the midst of the agonies of the Passion."

  7. A Call to Awareness and Accompaniment | Fifth Sunday Lenten Reflection

    Mar 18

    A Call to Awareness and Accompaniment | Fifth Sunday Lenten Reflection

    Jabril Robinson reflects on how Lent invites us to not only look inward, but also to look out of ourselves at one another. He notes that looking outward does not have to take the form of a "grand gesture," but often can be found in small moments. Jabril connects this to Jesus' parable of the grain of wheat—in order to help others we, too, must look for moments of "breaking open" to reach outside of ourselves and make time for others.
