MERCY SUNDAY
The receiving and giving love and mercy
We love always to our fullest capacity. Though at first, it may be hesitant and fearful, to open up to love takes courage. We also love out of need and of course instinct. However, as we mature and our ability to have an open heart develops, we can slowly learn to love others for themselves alone; as rare as that may be.
This week in the Catholic liturgy we celebrate ‘Mercy Sunday’. A feast that focuses on the depth of God’s love for us

I have never set foot on Greenland, but I have definitely flew over Greenland on my way to England. Looking at Greenland from the window of a plane, I can see the beauty of this island. An island that is called Greenland by the Vikings, when it should have been called Iceland. Huge ice shelves surround this majestic land. The Viking
Someone needs to explain to me this compuslsion of society to think that adult is synonymous with vulgarity, crudeness, explicit violence and sexual content.
I was watching snippets of the animation 'The Justice League' and so on and while the storylines were great I was turned off by the vulgar language and gratuitous violence and suchwhat.
It's not that I am weak minded that I cannot take it but I just do not understand why entertainment aimed at adults needs to incorporate such elem
I got my first Covid vaccine shot today at the Hy-Vee pharmacy. They’re very efficient, and they answered all of my questions: Will I glow in the dark? Will my hair change color? Will the government track me? Afterwards, I rushed over to Lake Anita for a long, strenuous walk to get my heart pumping to evenly distribute the tracking chips. I wouldn’t want a nanochip pileup in my Parietal Lobe. (JK)
It was a beautiful day for a walk: Windy, 75 degrees, partly cloudy. I took a detour onto the
Human Relationships
I believe that one reason that human relationships can be so frustrating is because we
unconsciously seek a finite relationship to satisfy the need for the Infinite.
The human journey is a difficult one. The further we go from the center,
I believe the more chaotic it gets. This is not about ‘religion’,
but about a deep spirituality that allows one to live out of one's tradition
in a life-giving way for oneself as well as for others.--Br.MD

but he has no disturbance when he is with God.”
― Bernard of Clairvaux, On Loving God
Hello My Friends,
I would like to wish you all a blessed Easter, from everyone here at the Monastery!
This is the time of year to really spend some time pondering, about what Easter really means to us as Christians. As Jesus went through Holy Week, it was an exper

Easter 2021
We have our Easter Vigil at 4:20 AM. Before the pandemic, we would have around 150 people come for our Vigil service at that time. For the last two Easter’s, we have done it without guest. The experience is two-sided. We miss the guest and will be glad when we can have them back. It is also nice to be by ourselves for the first time, well, ever. Next year, the chances are that we will have friends, our very good friends, back with us.
The lighting of the ‘fire’ is a hig
Your friend is dying. Alone. Final stage. Probably a few days to live.
Do you stay with them, comfort them, and hold their hand as they pass? Or.
Do you stop by for a quick hello, a few words then leave? Or.
Do you let them die alone because of the reminder of your own mortality? Even though you'll hate yourself for it for the rest of your life? Or.
Do you tell them to hang on, and never give up? Even though you know that it's inevitable?
There are many shades of grey in
You come upon the scene of a horrific accident. You're the first person there. Body parts are visible. One person in the car is still alive, but badly needs help. Your eyes make contact.
Do you stop, and give all possible aid until medical help arrives? Or.
Do you call 911, and wait for help to arrive, and do nothing more? Or.
Do you drive by, and call 911 without giving aid? Or.
Do you drive right by, even when making eye contact with the survivor, and deliberately
Holy Saturday
I broke the cycle of evil and death
Yes, my child, as you sit with me in my tomb,
you experience the coldness of death,
the emptiness left when life is poured out,
it was a horror for me, it was not pretended,
for I took it all on out of love,
all the deaths of all my children throughout time,
and still, carry that within my heart,
for love never forgets, and is stronger than death.
My death seems to be the end, yet in my sufferings, like in death,

The human journey and Holy Week
The human journey is often a difficult one. With stops along the way, of true joy and hopefully, of love, that rejuvenates us. In the last week of Jesus’ life, he knew what was coming, was distressed, but still believed in his Father's loving presence in his life. His humanity had to deal with all the anxiety that went along with this journey. He did not try to escape but went forward in faith.
All of us will have our 'Holy Week' as well, as our Gethseman
Ever since I retired last August, my brain seems to be operating in neutral. Today I committed two very serious faux pas’ while grocery shopping.
I went to the local market to stock up on steaks and pork chops at their awesome meat counter. The two employees were very friendly, and wished me a nice day as I left. I noticed that their black masks matched their black aprons. Very sharp, very professional.
Then I approached the deli counter in hopes of scoring two pounds of their delicio
Query.
Which is more valuable, or priceless? A billion dollars in the bank, that will never see the light of day, never cross another's palm in aid, and never spent, or a piece of art that the artist put his soul into, then gave away freely just for the heartfelt appreciation the giftee showed for it. That would be passed down for future generations, always in the light of day, and freely shown. That's where we are today. Which would you consider priceless?
Who got the better deal? The artist
