Wednesday of the 5th week of Lent
Gospel – John 8:31-42
“‘If you make my word your home you will indeed be my disciples, you will learn the truth and the truth will make you free.’” Jesus is asking a very precise thing “to make His word our home”. How is make the Word of God our home? This is the point of our reflection. If we want to make the Words of Jesus, our home, first we have to find space for that home in our life. The space to make home with the Words of Jesus. Often, we have occupied the spaces of our life with other things like our selfish interests and ideas. So, we don’t have space to build our home with the Word of God. Therefore, we must make space to build our home with the Words of Jesus. Then the second is to really make the home. That is when the Word of God makes the decisions in our daily life. Then the Words of Jesus becomes the home where everything is secondary to it. Let’ reflect: Lent is the time to make home with the words of Jesus.
