Reflections on Holy Week (1)

I am imposing upon myself a 48-hour restriction on social media commentary about politics. I would like to spend today and Holy Friday to reflect on the life of Jesus Christ and how His words have shaped my own life. The Lord has been kind to me. He has given me the energy to pursue my vocation for truth. He has protected me from all forms of harm. He has lifted me from a life of want even when I had no job during the last three years. Without Jesus Christ, I would have given up long ago.
