In the early days of the Church there was as yet no liturgical year; it developed gradually by successive stages... The one great absorbing fact which filled the minds of the primitive Christians was the Passion of the Lord, his Death and Resurrection. The Mass, or the breaking of bread, which took place in private homes from the very earliest days, as we learn from the Acts of the Apostles, was a commemoration, or rather renewal of these sacred events.
The institution of the Holy Eucharist on Maundy Thursday was but the prelude to the great drama of Calvary, the Resurrection its triumphal sequel. These three events are so intimately connected that they cannot be considered separately; each one completes and explains the others, and they form the basis of Christianity. - Holy Week, by Rev. Ferdinand Cabrol .

He was 21 years old and doing night patrol on the deck of his Navy ship. He looked down and saw that someone had tried to toss a teeny tiny book overboard. So he picked it up and discovered it was a Bible tract of the Gospel of John.
He wasn’t a Christian. He had rejected Christianity at age 13 and was currently researching and trying out every alternative religion he could find. But he took the tiny booklet back to his bunk that night and read the whole thing. And that night he got down on his knees and gave his whole life to Christ.
In some ways I owe my whole faith to the person who tossed the Gospel of John that my Dad found on his ship. God used it to change my dad’s life, the one who years later would introduce me to the Word Become Flesh.
Today we start the final Gospel in our #chapteradaychallenge . Whether you’ve been reading along with us since January or you’ve never cracked open a Bible, I welcome you to come join us for Saint John’s account of who Jesus is, and how we can know Him.
Today we read John chapter 1. We’ll hear about the Beginning, the Trinitarian life, the power to become children of God, and the fullness from which we all receive “grace upon grace.” If you’re reading with kids and want a condensed version, read John 1:1-18 today.
Join us for these next 21 days! Come and see what God has done.

A lunch that looks like this totally makes me feel like Queen of the Castle. 😂 My friend @nmcaruso has created a hashtag and movement called #worthyofwearing and she encourages women to pull that outfit or piece out of the back of the closet and wear it today - because we are worthy of feeling and looking beautiful every day. He has made us so.
Beautiful food makes me want to start the hashtag #worthyofeating because so many days I hurriedly stuff down the kids’ lunch scraps or a protein shake because time - and busyness - and I should be doing something more important than making and enjoying a beautiful meal. .
But the truth is a beautiful lunch makes me feel worthy. It makes me feel taken care of. And in the order of things I think I need to move it up the priorities list.
So let’s encourage each other. Show me one of your meals this week and tag #worthyofeating. I could use some new ideas! 🍒🥬🍇 .
I have been obsessed with all the #traderjoes salad kits recently. I usually prepare my own salads but the flavor combos and interesting shredded and chopped veggie mixes have been amazingly delicious. I’ve tried the Southwest, Mediterranean, Kale, and this one is the Broccoli, Kale, Carrot with Pepitas and Orange Tahini dressing. #yum (I suggest a tiny drizzle of their dressing and use EVOO for the rest.) —
