Palm Sunday: commemoration of the Lord's entry into Jerusalem and reflection on the sufferings of Jesus Christ. For our sake, Christ gave himself, even accepting death, death on the cross. In response, God exalted him to the highest place and gave him a name that is above all names. Two opposing things are reflected in this celebration: joy, prosperity and condemnation, betrayal. There is an injustice reflected in the trial of Jesus, the suffering of Jesus continues, every time we violate what the Gospel says. For those of us who suffer from constraints, Jesus is an example for us, look at him, if we believe, we will live with him...

Fifth Sunday of Lent: God wants to make peace with us; if anyone wants to serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. God's desire is for us Christians today: God wants to be our God. We need to examine ourselves and ask the question: is everything being done in accordance with God's call, am I accepting Christ's rule, is my relationship with God improving? Salvation is not just for Jews, but for all nations. Love and commitment can bring suffering and death, but those who love or are loved feel happy, that's what we are sown with, we die before we live...

Fourth Sunday of Lent: the Father loves us sinners; God's love for the world is so great that he gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. The Pharisees were people who had no relationship with Christ, but called him Master; for those who are open to Jesus, he will reveal to them the secret of salvation and baptism, the mystery of suffering and of my resurrection and final judgment. Jesus is the Father's greatest gift to bring salvation and eternal life to mankind.

Third Sunday of Lent: God's love does not allow us to be idle; God's love for the world is so great that he gave his only Son so that all who believe in him may have eternal life. The true temple is Jesus, where the Father is; God cannot be bought, Jesus brought the words of God the Father, these words are also addressed to us, so protect the church so that it is not made for money, but for development as it should be and according to faith. We must try to go to church with self-consecration and prayer, we must all show faith in what we do and how we act. We must make efforts to purify heart, body and soul.
