In his wounds we have been healed.

The word of Jesus of March 21, 2021

He wants to make it clear that his extreme event - that is, the cross, death and resurrection - it is an act of fruitfulness - his wounds have healed us - a fruitfulness that will bear fruit for many. And what does it mean to lose your life? I mean, what does it mean to be the grain of wheat? It means thinking less about ourselves, about personal interests, and knowing how to "see" and meet the needs of our neighbors, especially the least ones. ANGELUS - March 18, 2018.

From the book of the prophet Jeremiah Jer 31,31: 34-XNUMX Behold, the days will come - oracle of the Lord - in which with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah I will conclude a new covenant. It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, a covenant they broke, although I was their Lord. Oracle of the Lord. This will be the covenant that I will conclude with the house of Israel after those days - oracle of the Lord -: I will place my law within them, I will write it on their hearts. Then I will be their God and they will be my people. They will no longer have to educate each other, saying: "Know the Lord», Because everyone will know me, from the smallest to the greatest - oracle of the Lord -, since I will forgive their iniquity and I will no longer remember their sin.

Gospel of the day March 21, 2021: the Gospel of John

From the letter to the Hebrews Heb 5,7: 9-XNUMX Christ, in the days of his earthly life, offered prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to God who could save him from death and, through his full abandonment to him, he was heard. Although he was a Son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, made perfect, became the cause of eternal salvation for all who obey him.

From the second Gospel John Jn 12,20: 33-XNUMX At that time, among those who had gone up for worship during the feast there were also some Greeks. They approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him: "Lord, we want to see Jesus." Philip went to tell Andrea, and then Andrew and Philip went to tell Jesus. Jesus answered them: «The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified. Verily, verily I say to you: if the grain of wheat, which falls to the ground, does not die, it remains alone; if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone wants to serve me, follow me, and where I am, there will also be my servant. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

Commentary on the Gospel of 21 March by Don Fabio Rosini (video)

Now my soul is troubled; what will i say? Father, save me from this hour? But for this very reason I have come to this hour! Father, glorify your name ". Then came a voice from heaven: "I glorified him and I will glorify him again!" The crowd, who were present and had heard, said it was thunder. Others said, "An angel spoke to him." Jesus said: «This voice did not come for me, but for you. Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be thrown out. And I, when I will be lifted up from the earth, I will attract all to me ». He said this to indicate which death he was to die of.
