in the garden, Jesus praying to the Father. Mt 26:40

when he walks over to his disciples saying “So , you could not wait with me for one hour…”

it inspires in me the desire to spend more time with Him and to love him more deeply

The verse just before this is also one of my favorite. Five years ago on the feast of St. Joseph, I found myself undergoing a PET-scan for cancer. All during the procedure I repeated
Mt 26;39 And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not what I want but what you want.”
Three years later on Good Friday at noon, I found myself drinking the cup of contrast in preparation for a CT-scan for another kind of cancer again I repeated the verse over and over. I am now “cancer free” of both cancers.

John 7 The Samaritan woman
This to me is a beautiful story of Redemption. The story takes up almost a chapter. Through Jesus eyes we see deeply into the woman’s past . She has been rejected five times and now her male companion does not respect her enough to marry her. Yet Jesus offers her the “Living Water” She believes and goes back and evangelizes her village. It is such a beautiful story, It can be read on so many levels. .

*But thou, O Lord, art a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
I cry aloud to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy hill. * Ps 3:3-4

An inspiring story from you witnessing the glory of his grace. +++

John chapter 20; Mary Magdalene at the empty tomb, Peter and John run to the tomb and see the shroud inside, Mary crying because she loves Jesus so much, and Jesus, the Good Shepherd calls her name ‘Mary’ and his little lamb recognizes her Lord!

When Our Lord Jesus says, “And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”

The Appearance of Jesus on the Road to Emmaus through the Breaking of the Bread

When Jesus Says, “Let the Children Come to Me”

When Jesus Speaks to the Thankful Leper

When Jesus Forgives the Good Thief on the Cross

…And More!

May God bless you all abundantly and forever! 🙂
 
I think that I would have liked to see the transformation of water into wine up close and personal.

Imagine if you were standing there holding a glass of water and the water suddenly turned into wine. Now, visually, this wouldn’t be too much more impressive than any titration with an indicator dye that one might see in a chemistry lab, but intellectually, you would know that at the very minimum there was a large amount of literally 100% efficient nuclear transmutation of oxygen into carbon (along with a little nitrogen and few other elements) taking place right in front of your face, and all with nary a hint of stray radiation or evolution of excess heat. Even the slightest imperfection in the transmutation would have left a massive crater and a huge mushroom cloud boiling up into the sky along with drifting clouds of radioactive fallout.

I guess my one question about this is, knowing all of the laws of nature, could an angel do the same without violating the laws of nature, or is this a feat that is forever beyond duplication?

One thing is for sure: we ourselves, even with the best equipment we can imagine, are nowhere near being able to duplicate such a feat, and we won’t be able to do it at any time in the near future either.
 
The ascension, when Jesus promises to be with us until the end of the age.
 
The Walls of Jericho.

A reminder that it is God who is powerful, not us. That it is through obedience and faith in the Lord that our enemies will be defeated, not through our own plans, or through what strengths we perceive that we have. It is God who wins victories, we are merely His instruments. Our job is to be obedient and faithful to God.
 
The Emmaus story! Love when their eyes are opened , after the breaking of bread!

Guardian Angels - youtube; that video is what drove me to ask that question.
 
“This is my body. This is my blood. Take and eat.” “…lives in me and I in them.”
 
Outside of the Passion and the Institution of the Eucharist (the Gospels in general), the story of St. Stephen’s martyrdom (Acts 7) strikes me as remarkably powerful. It makes me tear up every time I read it.
 
OOh, ooh, I know!!!

When Ehud stabbed Englon king of Moab to death with his left hand and the whole sword, blade, hilt and handle got covered up in the king’s fat (Judges 3).

No? Oh well…
 
I think the funniest scene from the Bible is Balaam’s conversation with he donkey. Of course Balaam is a thick skulled moron. We can only hope that God granted him "death bed repentance. If so I shall probably rub shoulders with him in purgatory.
