THE EXCUSES OF MEN AND BETRAYAL OF TRUTH: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTION: PASSION OR PALM SUNDAY, CYCLE B, 2024

ByOnuh

From the historical viewpoint, Jesus’ passion and death were a result of the excuses of men and the betrayal of the truth. In a nutshell, the passion and death of Jesus Christ is an exemplification of courage versus cowardice on the part of all the actors involved.

From Christ himself to the least participant in the passion and death narrative. In Christ, we see a journey of courage from the inception of his public ministry till his death on the cross.

MEANING IN DYING: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 5TH SUNDAY IN LENT, CYCLE B, 2024

ByOnuh

In life, someone argues, there is meaning in dying in loving services for others. True life’s meaning is found when we live for others. This is because there is an absurdity that comes with life. When this sense of absurdness engulfs us with a sense of uncertainty and insecurity life becomes meaningless. In a moment like this, we can only find fulfillment and a sense of meaningfulness in the service of others through God.

The Christian life is full of an amazing and rejoicing grace in God when our souls meet with true repentance of sins and embrace the unfathomable mercy of God. No one is a Christian because he or she merits being one. It is all grace and nothing but grace. This is the most humble fact we must be conscious of daily.

DO YOU LOVE GOD? CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 3RD SUNDAY OF LENT, CYCLE B, 2024

ByOnuh

God is love (1 John 4:8). Hence, to love is not only to be religious and spiritual but also to be God-like. Inarguably, love is at the basis of our religious teaching, preaching, doctrines, theology, philosophy, ideology, practices, and even rituals and rites. If these are devoid of love then religion is as useless as any human venture.
