Wednesday of the 3rd week of Lent
Gospel – Matthew 5:17-19
“I tell you solemnly, till heaven and earth disappear, not one dot, not one little stroke, shall disappear from the Law until its purpose is achieved”. The law given by the Lord is to let us know His heart and His plan for us. And it will not be changed because His heart and His plan for us will not change. Everything can disappear but His plan for us will not disappear. Because we all are created in His likeness and His image. And the Law guide us to accomplish our vocation. And Jesus is the true face of that Law of God. That is why He is saying, “Do not imagine that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete them”. The Law given in the Old Testament was only indications, but Jesus is the fulfillment of that Law. In Jesus, the entire humanity is guided to its perfection. We are transformed by this Law into sons and daughters of God. Jesus is the embodiment of the Law of God. Jesus is our guide. Let’s reflect: Lent is the time to acknowledge Jesus as the supreme law of my life.
