“The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill Him, and three days after His death the Son of Man will rise.”

I was both edified and surprised when a sickly septuagenarian applied to enter our formation program a few years ago as a seminarian. He had lived a life of service. He served as a Mass server in his parish, served his aging and sick parents till they passed away, postponed getting married so that he could help his younger siblings through college, studied law in college so he could serve those who could not afford a lawyer, served in a lay Catholic movement throughout his life, and served his sick wife for over a decade before she died of cancer."
