“On April 4, 1980, John Paul II instituted the practice of hearing confessions in St. Peter’s Basilica on Good Friday, apparently becoming the first pope in history to hear the confessions of ordinary Catholics.”

“Earlier, when Jesus sent out the 72 disciples, he spoke of “a money bag, sack, and sandals.â€� Now he speaks of “a money bag, sack, and sword.â€� He is speaking symbolically, referring to a new time of persecution. The disciples miss the point, take him literally, and produce two swords. His response amounts to: “Enough of that.â€� We’re sometimes taught to be quick with the sword, and we’ve all got our own “swordsâ€� â€� glaring daggers at someone, making cutting remarks. Throughout this Lent, I’ll watch Jesus face some “swords:â€� Mockery, manhandling, torture. The early Christians applied a passage from Isaiah to him: He was led like a sheep to the slaughter and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opened not his mouth. (Is 53:7) How did he do that? How could I do that? Ask him.”

“Tips about prayer Just because you have more time to pray doesn’t mean you will pray more. It can be hard to carve out time for prayer. But when you have more time, it still takes some effort to move into prayer. Talk straight to God, and talk about everything. This is similar to “pray your feelings.â€� No subject is inappropriate for prayer. Talk about everything â€� everything. When we die, we come to the Lord as we are, the good and the bad. We would not want to have too many difficult things that we have to talk over for the first time with the Lord.”
