Where Are You Being Stingy?
The inner life of God is one of self-donating love. The Father pours everything he has into the Son; the Son everything into the Father. Father Mark explains that we are created to give of ourselves in a move of self-donating love. Where we were once excited to give ourselves as a gift we perhaps have grown stale, stingy. Where are you stingy in making yourself a gift? Relate this to Christ, receive from the Triune God, be refreshed, then be the gift. Take a listen

Come See Jesus. Death was on the mind of Mary Magdalene and the other Mary on the very first Easter morning. Similarly death is on our mind this Easter morning due to the pandemic.
