Citing of the Week
"Do we see predicaments so much that we fail to see the imprint of the Creator in the first place? Or will we look to the grace and gift that is in something, its strengths and new possibilities?"

FEAST OF ANDRÉ BESSETTE, RELIGIOUS
Passionate about the Passion
The 20th-century French-Canadian Holy Cross brother André Bessette spent much of his life counseling troubled people. He also had a special devotion to the Passion of Jesus, and when confronted with those who had crises of faith or serious shortcomings in their Christian life, he would deliver lengthy and emotional retellings of the Passion story. “Rarely,” wrote one of his Holy Cross brothers, “could a sinner resist the authority of the frail old man who, with tears in his eyes, talked about the Passion of the Lord.” Let the story of how Jesus so loved the world that he was willing to give his life for it inspire your own love and sacrifices.
