Summary of the Text
Welcome, my brothers and sisters, to the reflective teachings of Father Anthony Uche on the readings for the fifth Sunday of Lent year B. This episode is centered around the life-altering hour when our Lord Jesus submitted Himself for glorification in suffering and death. That particular hour represents the fulfillment of the lasting new covenant prophesied in Jeremiah and reiterated in our readings today.
This humbling act established us as God's people and turned our hearts into an abode of love, mercy, kindness, and peace. We were liberated from the shackles of sin through the salvific blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, who presented Himself as the enduring source of our salvation.
We are reminded of the reverence and adoration we owe our Lord Jesus, who sacrificed His life for our salvation. As we stumble in sin, we are called to seek His mercy and the renewal and purification of our hearts earnestly.
Unlike the Greeks in today's Gospel, our request to see God has been ratified through our Lord's eternal sacrifice. Infused with the Spirit of God, we are better equipped to withstand life's sufferings and horrors such as racial attacks, kidnappings, and unjust killings of loved ones. Transformed into disciples of God, we are given the strength to embrace the cost of discipleship and the courage to bear our crosses.
As we serve God and His people, the Lord assures us of His honor and blessings. It is His promise to be with us until the end of time. May his blessings and peace abound, through the intercession of our Mother Mary, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
