✝️ #lentenjourney Join us on our journey as we pray for greater love, justice, and truth in everything we do: "You, the hope of all humanity, be part of all my encounters today."
"Once I was pondering why our Lord was so fond of this virtue of humility, and this thought came to me — in my opinion not as a result of reflection but suddenly: It is because God is supreme Truth; and to be humble is to walk in truth..."

"Sometimes we talk about forgiveness as an extraordinary and heroic gesture, but for Jesus, it was the most normal thing to do: being forgiven by God should lead us spontaneously to forgive others as he has forgiven us."
"A rarely cited phrase from Saint John’s Gospel sheds light on the heart of Christ. That phrase, “He would not trust himself to them…”, explains the serene seriousness of his face. Saint John tells us that Christ does not place his trust in his followers, because he knows the secrets in their hearts. Each time he tries to confide in them, the response is a silly lack of understanding. Are we any different? Do you think that Christ can place his trust in us? Would he say something different if he lived in our midst? Or would it still be: “Non credebat eis” (“he would not trust himself to them”)."
"The serene silence of Jesus thus flows from the secret deep within him. Moreover, he likewise enjoys times of deep joy, but they are constantly accompanied by the dreadful image of Calvary and the disappointment derived from human sinfulness. These feelings are always present together. Even at the peak of his Passion, the beatific vision perdures in the depths of his soul. Christ experiences ecstatic moments on Mount Tabor, but even during those moments in the company of Moses and Elijah, he conversed about his Passion for the redemption of sinners. That serene silence is the hallmark of Christ."
