The Beauty and Love of Total Self-Giving

Periodically, I embed videos that show beyond mere words the love that Christ has for us. In "The Four Pillars of Faith", we've been studying how the doctrines of the Catholic Faith flow from the central mystery of the Dogma of the Trinity. The Persons of the Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, are in complete self-giving love and unity with each other, who also beckon us to join them in the same unity. The call upon us is incomparably awesome, the priviledge is too much to speak of, and yet the call for us is there just the same. The means by which we participate with the Trinity comes from Jesus' self-giving love of Himself for us to the Father.

The video below is a video clip from "The Passion of the Christ," with the musical score done by Darlene Zcheck and Hillsong. On this day of penance, let's draw near the Sacred Heart of Jesus and worship Him for his total self-giving to us in the cross. And let's remember, this Mass is the re-presenting of the same sacrifice on Calvary. Let's prepare our hearts for total giving of ourselves back to Christ. God bless you all in the peace of Christ...
