Piątek piątego tygodnia Wielkiego Postu
Ewangelia: J 10,31-42W dzisiejszej Ewangelii Jezus odważnie ogłasza swoją tożsamość: „Ja jestem Synem Bożym”. Ta prawda o Wcieleniu staje się dla wielu kamieniem potknięcia, trudną do zrozumienia, a jeszcze trudniejszą do przyjęcia. Jak Bóg może stać się człowiekiem? Jak to, co nieskończone, może wejść w to, co skończone? Jednak ta tajemnica nie jest problemem do rozwiązania, ale miłością, którą należy przyjąć. Wcielenie pokazuje, jak daleko Bóg jest gotów się posunąć, aby być blisko nas. Podczas gdy niektórzy Go odrzucają, inni pamiętają świadectwo Jana Chrzciciela: choć nie dokonywał on żadnych znaków, wszystko, co mówił o Jezusie, było prawdą. I dzięki temu prostemu świadectwu wielu zaczyna wierzyć. W okresie Wielkiego Postu jesteśmy zaproszeni do wyjścia poza granice naszego rozumowania i otwarcia naszych serc na tę prawdę o Bożej miłości. Wiara nie zawsze rodzi się z niezwykłych znaków, ale z pokornego uznania prawdy i gotowości do zaufania. Kiedy przyjmujemy Jezusa jako Syna Bożego, wpuszczamy do naszego życia samą obecność Boga, który zbliża się, aby nas zbawić. Zastanówmy się: Wielki Post to otwarcie naszych serc na wiarę w Jezusa jako Syna Bożego, zaufanie tajemnicy Jego wcielonej miłości, która wykracza poza nasze rozumienie.

Thursday of the 5th week of Lent
Gospel: John 8:51-59
In today’s Gospel, Jesus reveals a profound truth about His identity and His relationship with Abraham. He declares that whoever keeps His word will never see death, pointing to a life that transcends human limits. When the people question Him, referring to Abraham as their father, Jesus leads them beyond history into eternity: “Before Abraham was, I am.” In this moment, Jesus reveals Himself not only as a descendant in time, but as the eternal Son, present even before Abraham. The faith of Abraham, who trusted in God’s promise, finds its fulfilment in Christ. During Lent, we are invited to move from a faith rooted only in tradition to a living relationship with Jesus, recognizing Him as the source of life and the fulfilment of every promise. To believe in Him is to enter into a relationship that goes beyond the past and opens us to eternal life in the present. Let’s reflect: Lent is moving from inherited faith to a living relationship with Jesus, the eternal “I Am,” who fulfils God’s promises and gives us life.

The Annunciation of the Lord
Readings: Isaiah 7:10-14,8:10; Hebrews 10:4-10; Luke 1:26-38On the Solemnity of the Annunciation, the mystery of the Incarnation unfolds in profound simplicity and divine audacity: the Creator enters His creation, the Eternal takes on time, and God becomes man. The promise given through Isaiah, “God with us”, finds its definitive fulfillment as the Word is made flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary. In the Letter to the Hebrews, we glimpse the inner movement of this mystery: Christ comes into the world saying, “Here I am, I come to do your will,” offering a body prepared once and for all for our salvation. Yet this divine initiative awaits a human response, and in Mary’s humble “Yes,” heaven and earth are united. Her consent is not passive, but an active cooperation in God’s plan, allowing the Incarnation to take flesh within history. In this meeting of divine will and human freedom, we see that salvation begins where God’s grace is welcomed. The Annunciation invites us to contemplate a God who does not impose Himself, but who enters gently, seeking a heart open enough to receive Him. Let’s reflect: Am I ready, like Mary, to say “Yes” to God’s will so that Christ may take flesh in my life?

Tuesday of the 5th week of Lent
Gospel: John 8:21-30In today’s Gospel, Jesus speaks with clarity about His identity and His mission: everything He says and does flows from the Father. He does not act on His own, but in perfect communion with the One who sent Him. This unity becomes the foundation of faith, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He.” To believe in Jesus is not merely to accept a teaching, but to entrust ourselves to the One who perfectly reveals and accomplishes the will of the Father. During Lent, we are invited to deepen this faith, allowing our lives to be shaped by Christ as His life is shaped by the Father. When we believe in Him, we begin to align our own will with God’s will, discovering that true freedom and truth are found in this communion. Let’s reflect: Lent is believing in Jesus and aligning our will with the Father by following the One who perfectly lives His mission.

Monday of the 5th week of Lent
Saint Turibius of Mongrovejo
Gospel: John 8:1-11In today’s Gospel, Jesus stands before a woman caught in sin, surrounded by accusation, pressure, and judgment. The crowd demands a verdict, seeking to trap Him between the law and compassion. Yet Jesus is not driven by their pressure, nor by the noise of condemnation; He is guided solely by mercy. In silence, He writes on the ground, creating space for truth to emerge, and then speaks words that disarm both the accusers and the accused: “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone.” One by one they leave, and Jesus remains alone with the woman, not to condemn, but to restore: “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more.” This encounter reveals the heart of Christ: firm in truth, yet entirely free in mercy. During Lent, we are invited to step out of the voices that accuse, whether from others or within ourselves, and to stand before Jesus, where only mercy has the final word. Let’s reflect: Lent is stepping away from judgment and standing before Jesus to receive and live from His merciful freedom.
