As we begin the final week of Lent and prepare for Holy Week, we share with you on the St. Josemaria Institute Podcast a meditation for the Fifth Sunday of Lent: “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life" (Jn 12: 23-25).
Fr Javier del Castillo encourages us in this meditation to reflect on the meaning of death-- death to self and death in this world-- and to understand "death as a remedy for evil and as a gift." Being aware of our death can help us to live each day with a supernatural desire "to do penance and to make many acts of love confident that God will be there at the end-- to love today so that I can love for eternity."
