Fifth Sunday of Lent ~ March 18

Jesus presents us with an amazing paradox in today’s Gospel. He is telling us that only by death comes life; only by spending our life do we preserve it; and only by service will come greatness. In this Gospel, Jesus calls us to live in a way that goes counter to what the world preaches. We find life, if we live by his word. In the remaining days of Lent, pray for the grace to make the necessary changes in your life so that you can live in imitation of Christ.
