Jesus said, "It is finished." John 19:30

When Jesus lifted up His voice and said, " It is finished," He did not mean His life was ebbing away or God's plan had been foiled. Though death was near, Jesus realized the last obstacle had been hurdled and the last enemy destroyed. He had successfully and triumphantly completed the task of redemption. With the words, "It is finished," He announced that Heaven's door was open. Kingdoms and empires come and go, but the cross and all it stands for will always remain towering over the wrecks of time!

Billy Graham

“We call Lent a ‘penitential season’. It is striking, then, that the symbol with which it begins does not focus so much on personal sin as on our contingence as created beings […] To take the ashes is to confess kinship with this world of dust, to declare our readiness to abdicate pretensions to omnipotence. Standing before God in this way, I profess that I am not God. I admit the chasm that separates me from him. I accept the uncomfortable otherness of God. He is what I am not, yet my being bears his mark. I crave a completion no created thing can give. I walk this earth as yearning incarnate. I am at home, yet a stranger, homesick for a homeland I recall but have not seen.”

— Erik Varden: The Shattering of Loneliness

"Forced Lent. The Syrian people did not have to wait for Lent to arrive, their lives are already filled with austerity and daily sacrifices.

For 13 years now, our families are living a forced Fasting which is becoming heavier each day, that seems like an endless Calvary.

No heat for the elders, already made fragile by the cold winter, no baby milk for the newborns, a shortage of many medicines aggravating sicknesses and illnesses, extreme poverty. Those are the conditions leading to the death of many.

Once viewed as the hope of the future, the young generation is suffocating and desperate. Poverty, lack of jobs, impossibility to start new families, impossibility to apply for visas and leave the country as consulates are shutting down, eliminating thus their last hope. A total blockade with devastating sanctions.

Facing all the above, many are desperately searching to leave, even at the risk of losing their life by drowning on one of those refugee boats.

Isn't all of the above a form of forced euthanasia that is slowly and surely being imposed on that poor and deprived population?

Let us entrust our concerns to Our Lady of the Resurrection."

Samir Nassar, Maronite Archbishop of Damascus, Lent 2024 On the third day of Lent in the Maronite calendar (Feb 15), the US House passed a bill expanding economic sanctions that contribute to the starvation of the Syrian people.

Luxury. Refinement. Power.

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. The Holy Spirit asks Jesus if He forgot His lunch, and Jesus responds in the affirmative, as if forgetting His lunch is something He was supposed to do. The Holy Spirit's question is similar to a mother reminding her children to pack their lunches for school, but the opposite, reminding Jesus to forget His lunch instead of bring it. This is because Jesus is going into the desert to fast (eat less than usual as a religious sacrifice), so He's not supposed to bring lunch with him. 2. The Bible translation I drew from said, "The Spirit drove Jesus out to the desert." To "drive" someone can either mean (1) to encourage, cause, or force them to do something; or (2) to take them somewhere by automobile. In the Bible, they mean the former. I, being of sound mind and gentle soul, innocently wonder, "Why not both?" 3. Jesus declares that he's "going TO fast" (going to eat less than usual). But this sounds like "going TOO fast" (going at an irresponsible speed). The Holy Spirit assumes Jesus is saying the latter, and corrects Him by saying They're going the speed limit (i.e. not too fast). 4. The car is based on the one featured in the hit television program, "Joe Pera Talks With You." It's a white 2001 Buick Park Avenue, which his students call, "God's car." Now, it IS God's car.
