Gospel Meditation

March 17, 2024—5th Sunday of Lent

A middle-aged woman sat on the couch in my parish office and recounted to me a shocking list of
terrible calamities in her life: addictions, terminal illnesses, financial loss, broken relationships, and so on. She smiled as she did so. “Please forgive me,” I asked, “but you seem to be smiling as you share this.” She said, “Father John, I am totally overwhelmed. But I’m smiling because I just can’t wait to see what good things God does with this mess.” She expected God would manifest His glory when she most needed it.

This week in the Gospel, God speaks from heaven for the third and final time in Jesus’ earthly ministry. It’s at a tough moment. Gentiles seek Jesus, who announces his terrible suffering, and then boldly prays, “Father, glorify your name!” John then writes: Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it and will glorify it again.” Was the task of drawing the whole nonJewish world to himself overwhelming? Or was it the terrible specter of crucifixion? Whatever it was, the crushing weight triggers his turning to the Father with an unshakeable expectation of divine glory to burst through. And indeed, it did on Easter Sunday. In our burdens, our greatest strength is to turn to God and boldly ask Him for His glory.

Lenten challenge: This week, I invite you to list out everything which is a burden to you. Write
it down. Then add these words: “Father, glorify Your name in all these things!” Put that paper in
your pocket or purse when you come to Holy Week liturgies next week. You might smile at the most
unlikely times. — Father John Muir ©LPi

Catholic Ministry Appeal

Across the Diocese, nearly 13,000 families have made a commitment online, in the mail or at their parishes. These gifts will fund efforts that nurture spiritual life, embrace God’s call to serve and accompany missionary disciples.

Jesus said in Luke 11 that, “As to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be made clean for you.” Our Catholic Ministry Appeal needs your almsgiving spirit of sacrifice. When you give, you receive from Jesus, and experience the joy of the purity of life that is His gift. Please give, so we can rejoice together in what he gives us all back!
