On Mount Calvary I was a robber with my bad companion, we got caught and sentenced together. On this day of our crucifixion, another Man also joined us. Although I knew nothing at all about Him, but I was very touched when I watch this poor Man bearing all the dreadful torture of nailing on the Cross with extreme patience. I can never do the same, if that was me, I will wish that I was never born and would have been dead long ago. He also filled me with awe by His inexpressible look of dignity and goodness, despite in the midst of immense sufferings. Yet what struck my heart most was, when he said: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” How could He still pray for his enemies?! At that moment, through His Prayer, something changed inside me, my eyes and mind were opened: I knew who He is, and I knew who I am and what I have been doing all my life! I want to repent! I don’t want to die in my sins! My conscience won’t let me stand anyone insulting my Lord anymore, whether from my companion or onlookers below, I want to defend Him with my words which were all I got left and all I can do, even that means I might die the next minute under their flying stones. So I rebuked them loudly, although I knew I am not worthy to speak up for my Lord. Ah, my Lord, I have sinned my entire life but now I wish to confess all my sins to You, I know that even if You condemn me it will be with Justice. I trust in Your Mercy. I thank God that He still willing to bestow great Graces on me at this very last moment of my life. Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom. And my Lord said to me: “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” Reflection: Are you afraid to go to Confession because you have left the Church for too long? Then listen to what Jesus has said to St Faustina: “… I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy…Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet.” (Diary #699)

Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord Wednesday 25 March This Solemnity recalls the historical event of the Angel Gabriel appearing to the Virgin Mary, as found in Luke 1:26–38. It also celebrates the Church’s faith in the underlying reality that took place at that moment in time. It celebrates the Incarnation, making this solemnity not only a Marian solemnity, but first and foremost a Christological one. Most certainly, this solemnity is also a Marian celebration. We celebrate the Virgin Mary’s perfect “Yes” to the plan of the Father. We celebrate her humility, obedience, docility, and especially her motherhood of God and man. Therefore, on this glorious solemnity, seek the intercession of the Virgin Mary. Ask her to pray for you that you may imitate her “Yes” to the will of the Father in Heaven,  so that you can continue to bring forth His divine Son in your soul, so that He will continue to be made manifest to the world through you.

Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?’ She said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.’ (John 11:25-27) By your help, we beseech you, Lord our God, may we walk eagerly in that same charity with which, out of love for the world, you Son handed himself over to death. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you In the unity of the Holy Spirit,  God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Archbishop Mark and Bishop Peter Brignall have issued a joint statement on Assisted Suicide: ‘As the Senedd prepares to debate whether to give legislative consent to Westminster's Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, Archbishop Mark and Bishop Peter Brignall wish to express their deep concern about legalising assisted suicide in Wales. International experience shows that where assisted suicide is legalised, eligibility criteria expand over time and subtle pressure is placed on those who are elderly, disabled, or who fear becoming a burden. True compassion means accompanying those who suffer and ensuring no one feels abandoned, not ending life. They urge Members of the Senedd to withhold consent and focus on strengthening palliative care. On Monday 26th January, those who can are asked to observe a day of fasting in solidarity with the vulnerable.  Please also engage respectfully with your Member of the Senedd to make your voice heard on this important decision for Wales.’

The letter challenges Catholics to encounter Christ more deeply and share that encounter with others, and will be broken into six pieces for study during Lent or Eastertide.

So they said to him, ‘Then how were your eyes opened?’ He answered, ‘The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, “Go to Siloam and wash.” So I went and washed and received my sight.’ (John 9:10-11) O God, who through your Word reconcile the human race to yourself in a wonderful way, grant, we pray, that with prompt devotion and eager faith the Christian people may hasten toward the solemn celebrations to come. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,  God, for ever and ever. Amen.
