Dying to Life

a1
AI generated image of Jesus from Pixabay

Jesus predicts that, as troubled as he is as human, he has to die to be glorified. Like a grain of wheat that remains a grain unless it dies to produce fruits, he will have to die. Disguised as thunder, the voice of God will say so. It’s Jesus destiny. It’s the reason he came to be.

As humans we also die, but we will live life everlasting if, in this world, are servers, imitators, and followers of Jesus.

USCCB and War in the Holy Land

hl

October 8, 2023
WASHINGTON – In response to the continued tensions and violence that erupted into warfare between Gaza and Israel on October 7, Bishop David J. Malloy of Rockford, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee on International Justice and Peace, calls for prayers for peace in the Holy Land:

“On October 7, the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary, the world watched the operation launched from Gaza and the rapid call to arms from Israel that ensued. Almost 50 years to the day of the launch of the 1973 Arab–Israeli War, once again war is spilling out in the Holy Land. With it brings the mounting casualties and hostilities unfolding on all sides, and increased threats to the Status Quo of the Holy Places among Jews, Muslims, and Christians further dimming any hope for peace.
