No Greater Love
A Lenten Minute Reflection for Sunday, March 29, 2015
by Dcn Bob Bonomi
When we listen to the story of Jesus' Passion, we hear all of the events of a heroic love story: promises made to loved ones, betrayal by someone close, and finally a sacrifice - death - in order to save the ones who are loved. Today and this week, take time to read God's love story for us in each of the Gospels, starting with the one from Mark today, and picture yourself there as the ones whom Jesus loved - first, as each person at the dinner at Simon the leper's house, then as those who were to prepare for the Passover, and so on, through each scene of the story. Imagine how it must feel to be Jesus, who knows what everyone is thinking and feeling, and how He still has such great love for them that He will play out the story to its bitter, painful end. Are we willing to do the same for those whom we love? Are we willing to do the same for those who hate us, for the the love of God?
Thank you Deacon. A Blessed Easter to you and yours.
