Minute Meditations - Inbox Edition (Friday, August 31, 2012)


Friday, August 31, 2012

Unhealthy Guilt

Unhealthy guilt lets us wallow in our emotions, self-hatred, get depressed. We indulge these feelings as a substitute for making concrete resolutions and taking steps to change our behavior. Guilt, then, can be useful, but it should lead to action and then be let go of.

— from When a Teen Chooses You

Sts. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus
Listen to Saint of the Day
The actions of these two influential Jewish leaders give insight into the charismatic power of Jesus and his teachings—and the risks that could be involved in following him.

Joseph was a respected, wealthy civic leader who had become a disciple of Jesus. Following the death of Jesus, Joseph obtained Jesus' body from Pilate, wrapped it in fine linen and buried it. For these reasons Joseph is considered the patron saint of funeral directors and pallbearers. More important is the courage Joseph showed in asking Pilate for Jesus' body. Jesus was a condemned criminal who had been publicly executed. According to some legends, Joseph was punished and imprisoned for such a bold act.

Nicodemus was a Pharisee and, like Joseph, an important first-century Jew. We know from John's Gospel that Nicodemus went to Jesus at night—secretly—to better understand his teachings about the kingdom. Later, Nicodemus spoke up for Jesus at the time of his arrest and assisted in Jesus' burial. We know little else about Nicodemus.

Dear Lord, thank you for all our blessings, especially for my family and friends. I pray for all the children that have Autism and cannot express themselves when they have a pain, or someone angers them or they simply want to say something and can't find the words. Lord please cover these children; Nicole, CJ, Aramis, Issac, with your holy blood and cure them. Give them the capacity to understand, learn and communicate. Protect them lord from those that want to hurt them and do not have anyone to be their advocate. Help their parents help them. I also ask that you help my family and protect us from evil. Amen
