The devil wants me to quit. BUT I WILL keep faith. As a single mother raising two children with special needs things are challenging on me especially now that I’m homeschooling them. My hours to work are limited. I’m overwhelmed but I’m trying to provide the best I can for my sons. Lord Jesus get me through this, give me strength as I struggle to pay bills and while I struggle to buy groceries for my sons. Jesus will help me overcome this crisis. I have faith hallelujah. Praise Jesus.

I even fear to pronounce these words: surely its not I? something about this is scary. Maybe the potential in each and everyone of us to betray Jesus? Thank you Fr. Mike for todays sermon.

The good thing is that when we become aware we have been wrong we have learned something. If we think we are always right we won’t learn

There’s a part of me that the Lord reveals to me that he doesn’t like and neither do I but it’s like I don’t realize it’s there. It is my impatience. White I’m driving I expect everyone to be alert and cautious, instead, I find the exact opposite almost as if the guy in front of me isnt moving when I’ve been waiting a whole 20-30 seconds for him to go I begin to get irritated. Or when the people at the supermarket just park their carts or themselves in the center of an isle completely inconsiderate of others and I just want to say MOVE. Yea.. these are the hidden faults that displeases Our Lord Jesus Christ.

My Appointed Time Draws Near: Jesus Mentions That Someone Will Betray Him: In His Pride Judas Remarks: Surely It Is Not I Rabbi? As humans it can be hard when our sin is pointed out to us because of our pride. Jesus calls us to be humble as He was. In the first reading we hear the Old Testament prophesy of what the Messiah would go through: Beaten - Spit Upon - Mocked - Opposed. The Reading Ends: See the Lord God is my help who will prove me wrong? (Isaiah 50:9A). Even in the Passion and Death of Jesus He is never proven wrong. God has the last word with the Resurrection. Thank You Rev. Mike O'Connor & God Bless! ⛪ ✝

Maybe Judas had " fallen out of love with Jesus ". Maybe Jesus didn't " live up to Judas' expectations and desires. Maybe Judas expected the Messiah to be rich and powerful and move in those circles. Jesus moved among all types of people. In a time of disillusionment; Judas betrayed Jesus. Maybe he sat at that table with mixed feelings. Then, Jesus offered Judas the perfect opportunity. If Jesus isn't the Messiah then there's no way anyone could "know". If Jesus is the Messiah then he will know and ...
