In today’s Gospel (Jn 8:31-42), we read: "Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, "If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say, 'You will become free'?" Jesus answered them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.” The Scribes and Pharisees of that time were trying to kill the Author of Life, as His word had no room among them. Their arrogance and lack of faith made them children of the Evil One. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. Joseph, Pray for Us! To Jesus through Mary! Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York

However, stating that everyone, no matter their deeds, will enter the glory of Heaven seems contrary to the words of Jesus. Yesterday, in the Gospel’s main reading (Jn 5:17-30), the Son of God said: "Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life." The message seems to be clear: Those "who have done good deeds" will go to the "resurrection of life" and those "who have done wicked deeds" to the "resurrection of condemnation." Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary! Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York

God wants every believer to be transformed into the image and character of Jesus Christ. And on this season of Lent, we learn all the virtues necessary that, in St. Paul's words, "Christ may be formed in us" (Gal. 4:19). And as we prepare ourselves to participate in the Resurrection of the Lord, we conform our lives in imitation of the suffering and patient servant of Christ. He is the portrait of the loving crucified Savior. Padre Pio, one of the saints who understood Christ’s suffering the most, recommended attending Mass often. And he said: "If you want to assist at Mass with devotion and with fruit, think of the sorrowful Mother at the foot of Calvary.” “In your mind’s eye, transport yourself to Calvary," he added.

In his apostolic letter "Salvici Doloris", St. John Paul II wrote on the Christian meaning of human suffering: "It is through suffering that Jesus redeems us." Benedict XVI wrote in his book Jesus of Nazareth: "In Jesus’ Passion, the filth of the world is wiped out in the pain of infinite love." Great pain is God’s chosen way, because, as the Ratzinger-supervised Catechism clarifies: “The heart is converted by looking at him whom we have pierced. It is by discovering the greatness of God’s love that our heart is shaken by the horror and weight of sin and begins to fear offending God by sin (CCC 1432).” Benedict elaborated this idea by writing that the greatest way God gave himself was by showing his crazy desire for us through his pains. "The Cross of Jesus illumines his whole life: his swaddling clothes, his baptism, the paradoxes of the Beatitudes, the Kingdom of God, and other things difficult to decipher become understandable when Jesus’ Cross is at the center."

The faithful, who see their lives increasingly perfected by the grace of God, find it incomprehensible why many among us, especially friends and family members, prefer to stay attached to sin and darkness. The Holy Spirit explained yesterday’s Gospel reading (John 3:14-21)." “And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God.” Our sinful nature, stemming from the original sin of our ancestors Adam and Eve, blinds us. Our fallen world seeks to keep us in darkness. The Lord knows this—He knows our souls—and because of His great love for us, He sends us light in abundance. God, who is rich in mercy, saves us by the grace of His faith, which is a gift from Him. As we live in Christ, we belong to the Light. We never engage with darkness. We only pray for those who, doing wicked things, hate the light. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary!
