Reflection on Today’s Gospel Re-read Luke 23:35-43
What does Paradise look like to you?
Share your story if you have ever asked a favour of a dying person?
How would you describe Jesus’ response to those around him at this crucial time?
Today we celebrate Jesus as Our King with a gospel depicting Jesus being ridiculed and mocked. How can we allow this to strengthen us
Please keep in your prayers: the soul of Gerry Schafer, brother of Larry (Diane) Schafer
