The tomb of Jesus in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher – my photo during my last pilgrimage.
The Apostles declare that they “must obey God and not men” as they stand before the hostile Sanhedrin. Risking their lives, they show us the test of faith…even to the point of death.
Peter, James and John had a profound experience on the mountain, and Abraham encountered an angel in his test of faith. Both experiences were graces that came at different points of their journey through life. As we follow the Lord through the regular practice of our faith may we take to heart any special graces we receive as gifts from God to continue on our path.
