Thy Will Be Done Reflection for February 13, 2018 via @thepassionists Today people around the world are celebrating Mardi gras, supposedly a ‘blow out’ before Ash Wednesday and the restrictions of our Lenten season. In Passionist Communities around the world we celebrate the Mass of the Agony in the Garden on this Tuesday.  Mathew tells us that Jesus took his close friends Peter, James and John to a place they knew well, the garden of Gethsemane. Jesus wanted to spend time in prayer and he wanted the support of these friends. Mathew tells us that Jesus became grieved even unto death and agitated. He knew he was in trouble with the religious authorities. Cleansing the Temple was the last straw. Not knowing what tomorrow would bring he prayed for the strength to face whatever was to be. Peter, James and John avoided the tension by sleeping. They didn’t say, ‘Lord it is good for us to be here,’ like they said on the mount of the Transfiguration. Jesus’ whole prayer is summed up in the simple words, ‘Father if it is possible let this chalice pass me by, (then the words of total surrender) ‘not my will but your will be done.” We echo those words every time we say the Our Father; ‘Thy will be done.’ We can pray for ourselves and for each other that we say them with the same conviction Jesus said them that fatal night.  Fr. Paul Cusack, C.P. #thepassionists #beapassionist  #catholicism #mardigras #catholicfaith #catholicsaints #God  #jesus #catholicworld #catholic  #christian #vocations #catholiclife  #Bible #Lifeteen #ChristianLife  #Inspiration #shrovetuesday #lentTO  #pancaketuesday #liveyourpractice  #spiritualgangster #faith #truth  #thenewevangelization  #prayforvocations #agonyinthegarden #gethsemane

#Repost from @passionistvocations “Let us live our charism as prophets of hope, sincerely believing what we preach because God is at the very heart and centre of our lives. As Passionists in these present times, our mission must reflect a hopeful spirituality – one of surrender and trust into the hands of the One who calls us to proclaim the Gospel of the Passion of Jesus as a manifestation of the unlimited and boundless love of God. In the words of St Paul of the Cross: “The Passion is the greatest and most overwhelming work of God’s love.” This is the Good News of hope and life which opens to us the possibility of healing, courage and renewed vision. This is how we will “evangelize others by means of the Word of the Cross.” - Message to the Passionist family on the Feast of St. Paul of the Cross by Fr. Joachim Regime C.P. Superior General. Happy Feast Day to you all, and continue to #prayforvocations

#Repost from @passionistvocations Father in heaven, may we recognize and acknowledge that you are God. You have made us, and not we ourselves, to be your people and the sheep of your pasture. Baptize us with the truth we need throughout our lives. Give us the gift to discern who we are and what we should become. Free our eyes from all deception so that we can no longer delude ourselves with short-lived, earthly things. Clear our eyes to see what is eternal in and around us. Make us children, true children, who awake to exult and rejoice in what is childlike and who give thanks to you, O God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

#Repost from @passionistvocations “He loves, He hopes, He waits. Our Lord prefers to wait Himself for the sinner for years rather than keep us waiting an instant.” - St. Maria Goretti . Maria Goretti, born in 1890, is honored as one of the first Passionist martyrs. On July 5, 1902, at the age of 12, Maria made her First Communion at the nearby Passionist church. Shortly after, alone in her home, Maria was attacked by Alessandro Serenelli. When she would not submit to his advances, he stabbed Maria 14 times. She held him off courageously, but was mortally wounded. The following day, twenty hours after the attack, having expressed forgiveness for her murderer and stating that she wanted to have him in heaven with her, Maria died of her injuries. Maria’s life and death have come to exemplify purity of heart and spiritual strength in the face of temptation. St. Maria Goretti - pray for us! #prayforvocations
