What makes a prophet a prophet?

Last updated on: April 13, 2015 at 5:22 pm By Marge Fenelon

Did Elijah have special qualities that gave God indication that he should be given the arduous mission of confronting King Ahab so that Israel would return to the Lord? What made God think that Elijah had what it took to prophecy? Read more

The Sweetest Easter Vigil Ever

Last updated on: April 12, 2015 at 8:34 am By Marge Fenelon

He is the Christ who died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. On the third day, his Body was renewed and transfigured. As I observed the Easter Vigil last night, I easily imagined the sweetness that must have exuded from the tomb as the stone was rolled away and our Lord emerged in his glory. More than anything at that moment, I wanted, not to be standing in St. Peter and St. Paul Melkite Catholic Church in Amman, but at the tomb on Easter morning. I wanted to see the magnificence of the Resurrection and smell its sweetness. Read more

Well, I (almost) made it to Jordan. But that’s not the end of it.

Last updated on: April 10, 2015 at 10:01 am By Marge Fenelon

My flight for Jordan was leaving that night from JFK. Getting to New York twelve hours later just wasn't acceptable. And, it's not like I could just catch another flight, because Jordan flights from JFK to Amman happen only every few days. Read more

Q&A with Margaret Rose Realy, author of A Catholic Gardener’s Spiritual Almanac

Last updated on: April 10, 2015 at 8:41 am By Marge Fenelon

I fell into darkness. Uncertain and anxious, I went often to Adoration. I cried with Jesus, that having been given this gift as a gardener, and now unable to work the ground, what was I to do? It took some time for me to surrender my emotional and physical pain, and to start listening. And what I heard was dumbfounding. Read more

This is the point at which I scream, “What was I thinking!?”

Last updated on: April 7, 2015 at 10:06 am By Marge Fenelon

I'm at #4 right now, as I scurry to pull together the last details before my departure to Jordan as part of the Jordan Tourism Board's Religious Journalist/Blogger Press Tour April 9-19.

Sure, we can pick up our cross and follow Jesus. But can we forgive those who are nailing us to it?

Last updated on: April 2, 2015 at 11:08 am By Marge Fenelon

However, there's another way to consider our Lord's instruction to pick up our cross and follow him. Where was he carrying his cross to, and what happened when he got there? The cross he'd been carrying became the instrument of his agony as those who'd placed it on his shoulders viciously crucified him with it. And during the same time they were killing him, he forgave them. Read more
