Why do we feel a certain way? This would be a great question to ask ourselves once we identify and name what we feel.

Resurrection and the Reproaches (Lent 2024)
Our expectations and what God is doing can be totally different, so how should we respond to that? In the raising of Lazarus, the response of the Pharisees was to have Jesus killed.
