You’re right. Some got left out. I typed it all by hand and some got lost. So I’m going to make a few corrections and additions and reissue the PDF in a couple days

Great tool for reflection. One question I expected to see, but did not was from Matt. 10:18

Why callest thou me good?

These 100 Questions that are above are to help each and everyone of us to ponder and reflect in relation to our own lives. Our short comings and our sinfulness and our doubts and despondencies. Every time we read the bible we should absorb and ponder what we read as The Holy Spirit is speaking to us personally. Even Mary, the Mother of God who is full of grace, pondered and reflected and stored up the things in her heart that Jesus said to her and Joseph as he was growing up.

Definitely worth pondering. Asking and listening to the answers to Q. 21 tells you whether Jesus is alive for the answerer or merely a historical figure. Some mis-spellings exist in the list as shown on this blog. The list is worthwhile anyway; thank you.

For # 10, I would go see my Mom, and the wildflowers should be glorious this Easter time as they had some good rains this winter.

The scriptures are our own story. We are in it. To read scripture as a mere spectator looking on is to miss the keynote. Scripture is our story.

At my parish we recently concluded a study of Mary Healy’s Theology of The Body, and we are now in our 5th week of Jeff Cavins’ Great Adventure Timeline of The Bible.

One of the things our pastor (and Cavins) emphasizes each week is that, especially with respect to children, we need to give them a story to be in. If we don’t give our kids the stories of the Bible and of God and Jesus, then they will end up in a different story – drugs, sex, whatever that story may be.

Just thought I’d throw that in the discussion here.

Thank you Msgr. this is beautiful to reflect on during Lent. In fact, I teach confirmation and plan on bringing it in to make it part of my lesson in the morning.

Miracles happen to those that believe.

98.Do you love me? (John 21:16)

Well, that is the question. And a HUGE question it is too. One which many of us avoid, or end up answer the way Simon bar Jonah did, imperfectly and non-responsive to what Jesus really asked.

It is dangerous saying “yes” to fully and completely loving Christ. Such agape means giving yourself over entirely, sacrificing yourself and your wants and your desires. That’s a big responsibility.

Far easier to say yes to a lesser love, something less demanding.

Thankfully, Jesus will take what He can get, and will come down to our level, accepting the poor measly kind of love that we think is all that we can give, but then giving us the ability to build up that love to the real thing.
