Bishop Barron Sunday Sermon “God Enters Into Our Darkness”

 Bishop Barron highlights the Gospel account of Judas in his regret for betraying Jesus. He argues that possibly even sinners such as Judas could be saved. While not excusing sins or their effects; he expounds on God’s mercy as reaching down into the very depths of our darkness and despair.  https://youtu.be/lg95po4yAzs?si=JFjaiVtEZjhSne_c For more inspiring content check out Bishop Barron’s YouTube channel now with over 3 million subscribers and growing:  https://youtube.com/@bishopbarron?si=6wm2NHsWUnweQopr

And The Heart Beats On (Bu Bum, Bu Bum) poem

For April's poetry group, the topic was to create something with repetition like a repeated line ex in the Raven "Nevermore". Here is what I came up with.  And The Heart Beats On (Bu Bum, Bu Bum) Billions of people all over the Earth. Each day over 300 thousand new births! Each person seeking, learning to become. And the heart beats on (Bu Bum, Bu Bum)   New challenges arise each day of the year. Bad weather, bad news, things fill us with fear. Yet still we try hard to avoid the doldrums. And the heart beats on (Bu Bum, Bu Bum)   Perhaps it’s the hardships that give life it’s flair. Now I’m not saying that all things are fair. Though many feel hopeless; there’s much hope for some.

The Litany of Humility: A short, powerful prayer for Lent.

 The Litany of Humility is a prayer away from ourselves and directed to others. It calls to mind the words of Jesus who emphasized the meek and lowly of the world over the prideful and exalted. During Lent and throughout the year it’s good to remember this in our competitive and status symbol oriented world.  https://youtu.be/tLpr-5iWSuY?si=hHSEf1U8NO8BkMf7
