In today’s Gospel, Jesus outlines God’s work on earth. In summary, it is the salvation of mankind, as a group, as individuals. Out of love, the Father created each person and sent his Son, Jesus, to save him, to redeem him from sin. In unity with the Spirit, God, Father and Son, does not cease preform this activity.
Lent is a special time to reflect on this mystery.
I will reflect on these readings describing God’s work in the light of Psalm 45:
“Yahweh supports all who stumble, lifts those up who are bowed down…Yahweh is close to all who call upon him, all who call upon him from the heart.”
