"The Word was made flesh." (John 1:14)

God: "it's me - in the flesh."

Jesus is God's body language.

Christmas

So much shopping to do...
So many Christmas cards to write...
So many people I love...

Why am I complaining?

[VinnyMcKiernan @Vinamin]

The Word took flesh: Mary's flesh.
Mary is The Word processor.

[VinnyMcKiernan @Vinamin]

How adventuresome of God
to embark on this human adventure!

[VinnyMcKiernan @Vinamin]

We all need to make our own the prayer of Mary:
"My being proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
my spirit finds joy in God my Savior." (Luke 1:46-47)

[VinnyMcKiernan @Vinamin]

A compliment complements an accomplishment.

Make my day!

[VinnyMcKiernan @Vinamin]

Beware - fright!

Be aware - delight!

[VinnyMcKiernan @Vinamin]

Be here!
Be!
Hear!

The Sign of the Cross

"I bind unto myself the name,
the strong name of the Holy Trinity."
(Breastplate of St. Patrick)

Have you signed in today?

Biowin' in the Wind

"The Spirit blows where it will." (John 3:8)

Have I ever been "blown away" by the Spirit in others?
In myself?

[VinnyMcKiernan @Vinamin]

Jesus, the Bread of Life, is Risen!

And we don't have to worry
about having fallen.

Alleluia!

[VinnyMcKiernan @Vinamin]

Eastern Daylight Saving Time:
Morning has broken.

Easter Saving Time:
Mourning has broken!

Easter Greetings

The miracle of the Resurrection is that
Jesus came back from the dead
and he came back to us.
And he greeted us with "Peace!"

Our traditional response is Alleluia!
Our modern response could be Wow!

[VinnyMcKiernan @Vinamin]

The Greatest Comeback in History

The miracle of Easter is that
Jesus who knew life
has come back to us as new life!

No wonder we say ALLELUIA!

At Cross Purposes

Jesus didn't go along with the religious authorities of the day. He didn't go parallel with them; he intersected with them - he crossed them - and they crossed him.

[Busted Halo @BustedHalo]

Join us in welcoming Fr. Casey Cole (@caseyofm) and Fr. Roberto Serrano to our show tonight! They’ll tell us about their #BleacherBrothers tour, a mission to evangelize at baseball stadiums all around the country! Tune in on the @catholicchannel (ch. 129) on @SiriusXM to listen!

[VinnyMcKiernan @Vinamin]

We need to see eye to eye.

We need to see "I" to "I."

Aye! Aye!

[VinnyMcKiernan @Vinamin]

An "I" for an "I"
and a truth for a truth.

That's what I would give my eyeteeth for!

[VinnyMcKiernan @Vinamin]

Up and down?

Never let up!

Never let down!

[VinnyMcKiernan @Vinamin]

Give it "a rest"

Should you be "under arrest"
for driving yourself recklessly?

Are you driving? Or are you driven?

Is it time for "a rest"?
