Holiest week of the year

This happened so that what had been spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled: ‘Say to daughter Zion, “Behold, your king comes to you, meek and riding on an ass, and on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.”’   Mathew 21:5

Finally we see what the true Kingdom of God is going to look like.  The King will enter the royal city meek and humble.  The king came to be crushed by the hands of the very people who were looking for a king to turn back the Roman's and lead in a new kingdom.   Many times in the public ministry of Jesus did the people try and crown him king, but as he stated my time has not come.  Jesus had to demonstrate what his Kingdom would truly look like, a Kingdom of service.  Jesus fulfilled what the prophet had foretold, he would enter the city riding on a donkey.  When the Pharisees saw what this was, they feared what this would mean for them, which is why they determined Jesus must die, 'it is better for the death of one man than for the death of a nation'.    How will you treat this holiest week of the year?  Will you deny he is the Messiah or will you say, clearly this was the Son of Man?  Make this the best Easter ever and conform yourself to the Messiah who wants to usher in a new person to make yourself worthy of His Kingdom.

The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.” But the Pharisees said, “He drives out demons by the prince of demons.”  Mathew 9:34 In the 'me culture' of today's society we fail to recognize Jesus.  There is so much ridicule that happens for one good thing that people fail to appreciate the good.  'If I appreciate that what will people say about me?'  Jesus did not care what people said, He continued on to complete his mission to the other towns and villages.  We live in a 'me culture' where we look at situations that happen around us and we ask what is in it for me, not what can I do to help.  We definitely do not live in a JOY filled world where Jesus is first, Others are second, and Yourself last.  Jesus did not let the doubt of the Pharisees dimish his message he was sent to bring.  He called for the master to send more laborers for the harvest.  There are people waiting to be invited, be strong in your faith.  The

My witness

Lets open with a prayer. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit Amen. Lord Jesus, I believe in your presence in my life, family and those here today. I believe that you ask nothing of me that you do not give me the strength to do. I trust in the power of your grace and the care of your love. I love you, Lord, and I wish to love you with this prayer so that I may work according to your will and in your love. Amen Good Morning ~ Some of you may not know me, my name is Cory Sommer. I have been a member of St. Michael Catholic Church since 1999. When Pete asked if I was interested in giving my witness back in January, my immediate thought was am I ready, and after praying about it, I said yes but I still will probably read this word for word as that is where I am at right now. My second thought was, if I am ready, what are the daily readings for Mass for the day and what is God trying to teach me at this moment in my life. So if you know me you know that, and

You do not need to change I need to change...

Instead of you posting garbage to try to change the world, why don't you pray to God to change you?  Ask him to start in your soul and then pray to him to change your heart.  Believe me when I tell you, you do not have the ability to change the world, but you do have the ability to change you. Oh God I adore you, I give myself to you, may I be the person you want me to be and may your will be done in my life today....
