Friday of the 2nd week of Lent
First Friday: Let us entrust ourselves to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Gospel – Matthew 21:33-43,45-46
“It was the stone rejected by the builders that became the keystone”. This is the about Jesus Christ who was abandoned and crucified. Jesus Christ became the keystone of our salvation. He became the keystone of the new world which enjoys the fruits of redemption. But this parable is also applicable to us. Because the story continues. We have given this new vineyard which is the Church. We are supposed to give fruits to the keystone. But when we make of the grace for our own selfish interests without giving the right importance to the cornerstone, we are committing the same mistake of those servants in the parable. We are supposed to produce the fruits and to be handed over to Jesus Christ. All glory and honor belong to Him. Instead, if we are gathering all the glory and honor for ourselves, it is wrong. Let’s reflect: Lent is the time to assure that all glory and honor is given to God and we don’t take it for ourselves.
