This is Catholic quest; an initiative born to give present-day Catholics and Christians a meaningful, challenging and Christ-Centred understanding of the Faith.
"When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die."

When we tell people about repentance, we shouldn’t stop there; we should also tell them about God’s forgiveness.
It’s not enough to tell you your clothes are dirty; I must also let you know that it can be washed, and best still, there’s someone willing to wash it. (Jesus Christ)
Behold a Man who has spent his life in Total and Humble service to God and Mankind in relation to Faith and the Propagation of the Gospel.
Happy Birthday Pope Emeritus.
The name “Maundy” is from the Latinword mandatum (or mandatum novum) which relates to the English words “commandment” or “a new mandate”. It refers to Jesus’ words after he washed his disciple’s feet. He instructed them with a new commandment–to love one another as he loved them.
Maundy Thursday is the Thursday during Holy Week and remembers when Jesus Christ instituted the Eucharist during the Last Supper. It also commemorates the practice of ceremonial foot-washing to imitate Jesus, who washed his Apostles’ feet before the Last Supper...
as a sign and example of humility, love and service. Holy Thursday also commemorates the events that took place on the night before Jesus’ crucifixion.
Christ became like us in all ways except sin. C.f Hebrew 4:14. God already made us in His image and likeness, but Jesus elevated humanity even further. He will continue to have a human nature for the rest of eternity.
#catholicfaith#bvm#Annunciation #2021
The Annunciation is the angel Gabriel’s announcement to Mary that she would bear the Son of God, Jesus Christ. It also marks her acceptance, her “Fiat,” of God’s will. C.f Luke 1: 25-38. This is the beginning of the Incarnation when Jesus took on His human nature.
The Leper was HEALED body and soul; this made him so excited that he could not hold his Joy, & he went against the directive of Jesus Christ his Healer. "See that you say nothing to anyone..." He went off announcing the Goodness of the Lord to the public.

God allowed Job to go through all those troubles because God placed a bet on him to disprove the devil's claim that Job's righteousness was dependant on his wealth and possessions. What if the challenges around you are part of God's bet on your faith?
