Don’t Believe the Lie

April 10, 2019 by Andy Lesnefsky Leave a Comment

Hello,

We’re going to be doing a live video today at 3 PM EST at facebook.com/redeemedonline and I hope you’ll join us! I’m titling today’s discussion, “Don’t believe the lie,” and discussing making the most of the end of Lent.

I think it’s easy to look at our Lent, and our relationship with God for that matter, through the lens of our failures.

God is present right now. He can handle your past and you can lay down your worries.

“The secret of happiness is to live moment by moment and to thank God for all that He, in His goodness, sends to us day after day.” – St. Gianna Molla

Join us for a short reflection on finishing Lent well and I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have about the end of Lent or Holy Week. Feel free to send them via email or ask on the Facebook Live. See you at 3 PM EST!

In Christ,
Andy

PS. If you miss the live discussion, we will send out the replay with tomorrow’s email.

The Thirteenth Station: Jesus is Taken Down from the Cross

April 9, 2019 by Andy Lesnefsky 1 Comment

Opening Prayer: We adore You, oh Christ, and we praise You, because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

Reflect: Consider how, after Our Lord had died, He was taken down from the cross by two of His disciples, Joseph and Nicodemus, and placed in the arms of His afflicted Mother. She received Him with unutterable tenderness and pressed Him close to her bosom.

Prayer: O Mother of Sorrows, for the love of Your Son, accept me as Your servant and pray to Him for me, And You, my Redeemer, since you have died for me, allow me to love You, for I desire only You and nothing more. I love You, Jesus my Love, and I am sorry that I have offended You. Never let me offend You again. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.

The Twelfth Station: Jesus Dies on the Cross

April 8, 2019 by Andy Lesnefsky 2 Comments

Opening Prayer: We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You. Because, by Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world.

Reflect: Consider how Your Jesus, after three hours of agony on the cross, is finally overwhelmed with suffering and, abandoning Himself to the weight of His body, bows His head and dies.

Prayer: My dying Jesus, I devoutly kiss the cross on which You would die for love of me. I deserve, because of my sins, to die a terrible death; but Your death is my hope. By the merits of Your death, give me the grace to die embracing Your feet and burning with love of You. I yield my soul into Your hands. I love You with my whole heart. I am sorry that I have offended You. Never let me offend You again. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.

Today’s Podcast Episode: God gives us so much, yet we cry out to Him in anger, frustration, and even disgust at our situation. What if we fasted from complaining today, and instead focused on thankfulness?

The Eleventh Station: Jesus is Nailed to the Cross

April 7, 2019 by Andy Lesnefsky 2 Comments

Opening Prayer: We adore You, oh Christ, and we praise You, because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

Reflect: Consider Jesus, thrown down upon the cross, He stretched out His arms and offered to His eternal Father the sacrifice of His life for our salvation. They nailed His hands and feet, and then, raising the cross, left Him to die in anguish.

Prayer: My despised Jesus, nail my heart to the cross that it may always remain there to love You and never leave You again. I love You more than myself; I am sorry for ever having offended You. Never permit me to offend You again. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.

The Tenth Station: Jesus is Stripped of His Clothes

Opening Prayer: We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You. Because, by Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world.

Reflect: Consider how Jesus was violently stripped of His clothes by His executioners. The inner garments adhered to his lacerated flesh and the soldiers tore them off so roughly that the skin came with them Have pity for your Savior so cruelly treated and tell Him:

Prayer: My innocent Jesus, by the torment You suffered in being stripped of Your garments, help me to strip myself of all attachment for the things of earth that I may place all my love in You who are so worthy of my love. I love You, o Jesus, with all my heart; / I am sorry for ever having offended You. Never let me offend You again. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.
