Saturday of the 4th week of Lent
First reading Jeremiah 11:18-20
On this Saturday of the Fourth Week of Lent, the words of the Prophet Jeremiah stir within us a deeper awareness of the spiritual battle we face. Evil does not always come in obvious forms—it often lurks in the shadows, seeking to destroy what is good, holy, and true within us. Yet, like Jeremiah, we are not left defenseless. The Lord, through His word, opens our eyes to the hidden plots of these destructive forces. Lent is the season when we renew our commitment to the cause of the Lord, allowing His truth to expose the lies we have believed, the habits we must surrender, and the distractions that pull us away from Him. In this sacred time, we are called not only to recognize the presence of evil but also to stand firm in the light of God’s will, trusting that He who sees all will guard our hearts and vindicate our faithfulness. Let’s reflect: Lent is confirming ourselves to the cause of Lord as He opened my eyes to evil plots in my life.
