Loving the Dying Christ

April 8, 2022 | By TJ Dulac H ‘23

How often have I found myself in the place of the disciples in today’s Gospel reading, where they do not understand Jesus when He foretells His death for the third time: “He will be handed over to the Gentiles; and he will be mocked and insulted and spat upon. After they have flogged him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise again” (Luke 18:34). How often have I lost sight of the final parts of our Lenten journey, when Jesus is stripped, scourged, mocked, crucified, and killed.

Love and the Falling Fifth

March 7, 2022 | By Daniel Yen TD ‘22

While the sighs in Schumann’s music help us to understand what human love feels like, I believe the gospel accounts of Jesus’s crucifixion suggest that the experience of exhalation also helps us to better appreciate the love of God.

Simple Truths to Cling to

March 31, 2021 | By Shiwen Yeo MC ‘23

I grew up in a convent. People often joke that I seem nothing like a convent girl and are genuinely surprised whenever I say that I didn’t go to elementary school. And while I was not raised Catholic, I think that my convent years had a profound impact on my spiritual life, in little ways that really add up.

The Return of the Prodigal Son

March 26, 2021 | By Barkotel Zemenu GH ‘24

During winter break, I was in a book group for first years at Yale Students for Christ (YSC). It was the only major YSC activity I was doing, yet it ended up being the most rewarding experience of my entire break. The book we read, The Return of the Prodigal Son, was based on Jesus’ famous parable.

Let It Be Done

March 24, 2021 | By Frances Boggs

Fiat mihi—such a small phrase, and yet it changed the course of the world. Mary’s two words allowed for Christ to enter into our lives in a very real way. Through this small phrase, Mary opened the door for salvation to enter into the world. With her humble obedience, she became the mother of God and not for her own sake.

Your Will Be Done

March 24, 2021 | By Katherine Matsukawa BK ‘23

I pray that I will decrease and that you will increase.

Use me, Lord.

Your will be done.

Growing up, whenever I heard someone pray these words, I’d typically think, good for them...but I could never pray those things sincerely.
