"As we prepare to enter this celebration of Thanksgiving, I can’t help but find myself wrestling with my inner search for gratitude amidst the tumult of this year. What do we do when we feel powerless to find the blessings of life?" https://t.co/SJkuq9Tz3e

Today, the feast of Our Lady of Fatima, say a rosary for guidance.

Just as Our Lady appeared amid the uncertainty of WWI Europe, pray that we may have the grace to find God's light during our own uncertain times.

What are areas in my heart that need resurrecting? What needs to be mourned? How can I sit in this tomb with Jesus today? How do I lament with Jesus things that are weigh on me? Once we sit in our tombs, we realize what needs to come alive to experience the coming resurrection.

[Jesuit Spiritual Center at Milford @JSCMinistry]

Holy Saturday reminds us that Jesus died and descended into hell. It is easy to overlook because we know there is resurrection coming. The disciples didn't have that foresight. They grieved after watching their beloved teacher and friend be tortured.

They grieved after watching his lifeless body deposited into the tomb. They lamented and felt disheartened, sorrowful, and afraid. They had lost a dear loved one. And so we too, must mourn and consider our tombs… What are the things in my life that need healing?

[Jesuit Spiritual Center at Milford @JSCMinistry]

What have we done to deserve this love?
Praise God that His story does not end here.

[Jesuit Spiritual Center at Milford @JSCMinistry]

How remarkable is our God’s love? He accepted humanity, experienced a human death and hell itself, for our own sake. There is no greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. In His case especially.

[Jesuit Spiritual Center at Milford @JSCMinistry]

The Romans were experts of torture. Flayed to a fraction of His life, He carried a large wooden cross upon his bloodied back. Naked, thorns in His head, nails in His wrists, He died slowly drowning from the blood that pooled in His lungs.

Along with the series on our blog, this year we’ve made a video Why Ignite? series with our Ignite Interns. This video is from first year intern Danny Hannan.
