The Gospel speaks of slavery and freedom. To the Jews who believed in
Him, Jesus said: If you make my word your home you will indeed be my
disciples; you will come to know the truth, and the truth will set you
free.
What are the things, persons, opinions and other various attachments
that hold us to bondage; making us slaves of our own thinking and way
of life? May this season of Lent once again remind us to rid ourselves
of the things that enslave us.
The Gospel speaks of the truth and redemption from sin to those who
believe. Every day through the Holy Eucharist and the through the
Sacrament of Reconciliation Jesus waits for us and invites us to take
this journey towards freedom and love. Shall we keep him waiting, or
shall we accept his invitation to free ourselves from our attachments
and experience the joy of sharing in his inexhaustible love.
