The name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

I adore you with profound reverence.

I ask your pardon for my sins and the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful.

My immaculate Mother Saint Joseph, my Father and Lord, my guardian angel, intercede for me.

During this very special time of grace, when we enter into the last phase of Lent and the third phase of the

son of God made man's life on earth. First, his infancy, second, his public life, well, his infancy, including his hidden life of work, of family life,

of friendship, where he kept his preaching and miracle working on hold.

If you will, it was so ordinary that his listeners were shocked that he would actually comment on

some verses from the prophet Isaiah, and especially shocked when they said, guess what, boys,

it applies to me. His public life, basically as we're reading in these

gospels of the week preceding, the Holy Week that is traditionally called Passion Time,

he's wrapping things up, giving proof that he is God.

And he is always displaying an incarnation of love, but he's emphasizing his power.

He says, listen, my works are pointing to divinity.

It's not every day you see someone create an arm. Withered

arm, now you got a new arm. Long-distance cure of a leper. You're out awake and someone

walks in and brings them back to life and that doesn't happen just once. It's a few

times that happens, you know, this certain individual.

You have a fever, no need to go to Walgreens and buy medicine, it's God.

All right?

Now, make me a sandwich.
