Preliminary remark: I created these meditations 2018, so they are repetitions. At that time the present painful situation was not yet foreseeable. That is why there are formulations which refer to the normal course of the Holy Masses. Read More

Holy Wednesday: Thirty pieces of silver
(Daily Reading: Mt 26:14-25)
The betrayal of God, at the price of unjust mammon! How often does that happen?
How often do people sell themselves for mammon, for their honor, their disorderly lust, their power…
Thirty pieces of silver they gave to Judas and knew that blood was on this money. But it was not only the blood of a man, which would be bad enough! No, it was the blood of the Son of God; that blood which saves them. It was the blood of the Lamb, which was given away for the world. They paid the traitor. Read More
Holy Tuesday: One of you is going to betray me
Jn 13:21-33, 36-38
Having said this, Jesus was deeply disturbed and declared, ‘In all truth I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.’ The disciples looked at each other, wondering whom he meant. The disciple Jesus loved was reclining next to Jesus; Simon Peter signed to him and said, ‘Ask who it is he means,’ so leaning back close to Jesus’ chest he said, ‘Who is it, Lord?’ Jesus answered, ‘It is the one to whom I give the piece of bread that I dip in the dish.’ Read More
Holy Monday: The love to Jesus
Jn 12:1-11
Six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead. They gave a dinner for him there; Martha waited on them and Lazarus was among those at table. Mary brought in a pound of very costly ointment, pure nard, and with it anointed the feet of Jesus, wiping them with her hair; the house was filled with the scent of the ointment. Read More
Palm Sunday: The day Jesus was honoured
In the Holy Week we change a little the previous rhythm. Scripture interpretations will be more meditative and somewhat shorter.
“Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heavens!” (Mt 21:9) Read More

Meditation on “The Father´s Message”
I have set aside the 7th of each month for the Father’s Message through Madre Eugenia, which is recognised by the Church and which I always highly recommend (can be found here: https://www.fatherspeaks.net/eugenia_msg.html). Unfortunately I missed it last month and will make up for it later in the year. Read More
Reflection on the audio play “Agnes in the wake of the Lamb”
First of all, I would like to thank the Lord and St. Agnes for bringing the story so close to us through the ministry of Harpa Dei. Perhaps some of us can repeat for ourselves the words that are put into the mouth of St. Ambrose at the end: “This girl has captivated me, she has conquered my heart.”
So be it! Read More
The Maid of Orleans and the Army of the Lamb
Short review
We have dedicated three programmes to St. Joan of Arc. Every day we pray in our community that we may better understand her mission and that her honor may be fully established.
Why do we pray in this way? Read More
The Fatherly Love
Meditation on the Father’s Message
In 2020 I had planned to write a meditation on God the Father on the 7th of each month. If possible, I would like to continue this this year, because it is very enriching when we get to know the Holy Trinity both in its unity and in the different persons. Read More
Mary, the Mother of God
Eighth Christmas Meditation and New Year
Lk 2:16-28
So they hurried away and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. When they saw the child they repeated what they had been told about him, and everyone who heard it was astonished at what the shepherds said to them. As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart. Read More
