Greetings on this the Wednesday of the Fourth Week of Lent
Readings: Isaiah 49:8-15; Psalm 145:8-9, 13cd-14, 17-18; John 5:17-30
Summary
The Work of the Son.
But Jesus answered them, “My Father is at work until now, so I am at work.” Amen, amen, I say to you, a son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees his father doing; for what he does, his son will do also (Jn 5:17, 19).
Reflection
Our work is a derivative of the Son’s work.
If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do (Jn 13:14-15).
We do what Jesus taught us to do.
Personal Reflection
May this day my work be derived from the Son and centered on the Father’s love.
