Thanks, Joe! that was very thorough and deeply relatable! Praying for you and your family that in the light of Lent of 2023, we may journey together following the footsteps of Christ in the desert sand that by his grace and through our participation we may come to know him better and in doing so appreciate ourselves and his divine love for us. That we may participate in forty days of introspection and self-reorientation towards Christ so we may have the drive to endure his presence and immerse and embrace the gift of suffering & death and the glory of resurrection through this we may come out anew and rejuvenated to take on another year of being a better version of ourselves.

I missed reading your reflections last Sunday because of being in a place where I could not access the internet. Reading it now brings me greater consolation than ever. Without any atom of doubt, I believe that your reflections are spiritually inspired message. I am amazed at how you are able to reach the level of writing so prophetically that you never missed being on point in your reflection. At the same time, I thank God for reaching to your readers’ conscience through talented writers like you. Thank you for using your God-given talent to bring us closer to God no matter what we face. May you and your family be filled with all the Easter’s blessings now and forever.

Hi Joe! While it is already Tuesday of Holy Week, I have just sat down to catch up on my reflections at acatholic.org and thank goodness I did- your “conversation” is perhaps one of the most beautifully written pieces I have read in relation to God’s involvement during the most trying of situations we experience in life. I thank God for putting these words in your heart and I thank you for sharing them with me and others! I have already saved your reflection and I have printed several copies- I hope when I don’t have words that I can share your “conversation” with those hurting around me as well as when I may need a reminder when I find myself asking “why God?” May you and your family be blessed with a beautiful Holy Week and Easter!

Beautiful, Joe! Thank you!

And Laura, you can always attend Mass online here: https://thesundaymass.org

I have done so before when I couldn’t leave home for various reasons.

Excellent reflection for Palm Sunday, Joe! Our family is sick with the flu and can’t go to mass today, but your reflection really helped us stay connected and keep the sabbath holy from our home. Beautifully written!
