Fifth Sunday of Lent -
Jesus Foretells His Death and Subsequent Glorification
In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us that judgment, repentance, and dying to sin are necessary before we can truly know the joy of God’s mercy, forgiveness, and new life in Christ. Jesus put it this way: “if you love your life, you must let it go…If you want to serve me, you must follow me and do what I do…”
As we continue our Operation Rice Bowl journey let us remember in prayer that human beings are not only sacred, but also social. How we participate in our family and community, from our daily actions to our policy decisions, affects each and every person. May our fasting keep us mindful of the families and communities that are hungry. May our almsgiving assist Catholic Relief Services as we learn about education programming in Ghana.
