Easter: Day Fourteen, Third Sunday in Easter April 18, 2010

At the last Supper, Jesus said to serve others as He has served us. In the Our Father, we say "Father forgive us as we forgive others." The greatest philosophers have taught that we need to know ourselves. But today we tend to focus more on the sins of others instead of our own sins or that others must meet our needs and not about meeting the needs of others. We get caught up in a culture of "me first". And we see the results of that culture - darkness and death. We ourselves are caught up in a darkness that entraps us. We ourselves are caught up in the death of relationships. Prayer will bring the light and the truth. The best prayer of all is "Thank you, God, for all that you have done for me!"
God bless!
