Resumen de la Escritura

Although we anticipate the celebration of Easter, this week’s readings remind us to slow down and walk through the suffering of Jesus. If we fail to understand why he has to die, then we fail to grasp fully the power of his resurrection. Monday’s passage in Isaiah anticipates the Messiah, the Anointed One, coming to bring justice to the nations. Tuesday’s Psalm laments that sometimes the righteous are met with scorn. The Hebrews passage for Wednesday declares that Christ knows of the suffering that awaits him, yet he endures it because of the joy to come. On Thursday, the reading in John shows us that even when facing death, Jesus continues to model selfless love. Friday brings pain and rejection, but Sunday is the greatest day in human history. He is risen indeed!

Preguntas para la reflexión

Read John 13:1-7, 31b-35. Consider someone who has disappointed, hurt, or betrayed you whom God might be calling you to love. How could a posture of service help you act in a loving way even if you cannot feel affection for this person?
Read Isaiah 52:13-53:12. How does this description of a suffering servant help you more fully understand Jesus’ suffering on the cross?
Read Lamentations 3:1-9, 19-24. When has grief felt like mercy? When has noticing you are alive felt like a miracle?
Read Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24. Recall a time you forgot how to sing God’s praises despite the joy around you. How did God provide the song?

Lamentations 3:1-9, 19-24

1 I am someone who saw the suffering caused by God’s angry rod. 2 He drove me away, forced me to walk in darkness, not light. 3 He turned his hand even against me, over and over again, all day long. 4 He wore out my flesh and my skin; he broke my bones. 5 He besieged me, surrounding me with bitterness and weariness. 6 He made me live in dark places like those who’ve been dead a long time. 7 He walled me in so I couldn’t escape; he made my chains heavy. 8 Even though I call out and cry for help, he silences my prayer. 9 He walled in my paths with stonework; he made my routes crooked. 19 The memory of my suffering and homelessness is bitterness and poison. 20 I can’t help but remember and am depressed. 21 I call all this to mind—therefore, I will wait. 22 Certainly the faithful love of the LORD hasn’t ended; certainly God’s compassion isn’t through! 23 They are renewed every morning. Great is your faithfulness. 24 I think: The LORD is my portion! Therefore, I’ll wait for him.

In the aftermath of Babylon’s siege on Jerusalem (587 bce), Jeremiah momentarily loses hope. We hear his devastation as he recounts the horrific destruction and loss of life. Perhaps even worse, though, the prophet says that when he cries out in prayer, God doesn’t hear his pleas.

But a tiny...

O God, as Jeremiah lost hope, at times we are tempted to do the same. Forgive us and restore our spirit in the light of your never-ending mercies. Amen.
