Tuesday, March 31, 2020 - Fifth week of Lent - Gospel of Jesus Christ according to St. John 8, 21-30 - Son of man, lifted up on the cross, you draw to yourself all men.

Many are the teachings and miracles that Jesus performed in the eyes of his contemporaries, including those who are in his presence (the Pharisees and the Jews). Before He left, He said, "I am going away; you will seek me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot go". The reason is that these people did not want to believe or convert. Jesus wants them to understand that because of their unbelief, the kingdom of heaven is denied them. Jesus knows them so well that He adds, "I have much to say and much to judge about you."
Jesus also knows us in every detail and He has a lot to say about us. If we are stubborn in our faults and sins, these words of Jesus, "Where I am going, you cannot go," will be effective.

But when faced with these teachings of Jesus, they were perplexed and ended up asking, "Who are you? Jesus began to teach them again and many believed: we too, as soon as there is the slightest doubt about our faith, take the time to ask and do not be reluctant to believe what is taught and especially what is revealed in Sacred Scripture. For us, charged with the propagation of the faith, like Jesus, let us not tire of shedding light on the mysteries of the faith.
