Bitter Journey
I thought this was a pretty neat interpretation of the Passion of Jesus, although the music is a little annoying.
check it out and I hope it helps you as you get ready for the Holy Week.
A Franciscan Blessing/Benediction
May God bless us with discomfort
At easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships
So that we may live from deep within our hearts.
May God bless us with anger
At injustice, oppression, and exploitation of God's creations
So that we may work for justice, freedom, and peace.
May God bless us with tears
To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war,
So that we may reach out our hands to comfort them and
To turn their pain into joy.
And may God bless us with just enough foolishness
To believe that we can make a difference in the world,
So that we can do what others claim cannot be done:
To bring justice and kindness to all our children and all our neighbors who are poor.
Amen.

Some Days You're The Hammer...
and some days, you're the nail.
Gotta feel bad for the goaltender on this one. Being scored on from 180 feet out makes for a tough day.
But honestly, who hasn't had days like this one?
