Holy Thursday / Good Friday

Jesus to the apostles while He is washing their feet: "What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later."

Have you ever been told something years ago that you just finally understood recently? It seems like that has been happening a lot to me lately. Concepts that never really made sense to me now seem so clear.

Jesus knows that the truth is not easy to grasp. The Trinity, the beginning of the world, life after death.......things like this are complicated, and God doesn't expect us to fully understand all of the truths right now. We will understand more and more in life as we dig deeper into the Bible and the church's teachings, but we will not know everything until after we die. Although it doesn't all make sense now, Jesus promises that we will understand later.

I can't wait to truly understand all of God's truths! Yes, I believe in everything the Catholic church teaches, but some things are just difficult to grasp. I have so many questions to ask God! Someday everything will make perfect sense......

Jesus on the cross: “Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.”

Here we go again. We humans can be so ignorant sometimes. We don't always know what we are really doing on this earth. We make mistakes. If only we could see everything through God's eyes, we wouldn't be so careless with our lives.

I challenge you: Try to see through God's eyes. Try to dig deeper into your faith to understand the truths. God knows what He is doing, and He want to teach you His ways. Put your faith in Him!
