Dt 30:15-20 |
|
Happy the man who has placed his trust in the Lord. |
|
Jesus said, ‘The Son of man is destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be put to death, and to be raised up on the third day.’ Then, speaking to all, he said, ‘If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross every day and follow me. Anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, will save it. What benefit is it to anyone to win the whole world and forfeit or lose his very self? |

Reflection |
|
We find that the interesting alternatives offered by Moses and Jesus to the people are also meant for us in today’s times. And we have to exercise the choice. There is no compelling, only an invitation. The beauty of love lies in never forcing a choice. The tragedy lies in rejecting God and his blessings, because His path may appear difficult. The season of Lent presents us with a beautiful opportunity to reflect on our choices and to save our lives. Pray for the wisdom to choose wisely and correctly. |
