Tuesday of the Holy Week: 31st March, 2015
'Hear me', 'Listen' calls the first reading today. This day, Jesus spent with his disciples and all those who were following him into Jerusalem from far and near... He taught them not because they were going to transform themselves ultimately, not because they were deserving of all his kindness and concern for them. No, definitely not! He did know how weak their flesh was in spite of the spirit that yearned to be strong.
Today the challenge to us is to weigh our spirit and our flesh, our daily life and its priorities, against the love of God. Jesus not only knows the persons who will be soon turning against him, but that does not stop him all the same from loving them, speaking to them and being compassionate about them.
How much quality time do you spend with people who genuinely care for you?
