On this last Sunday of Lent, the Gospel reminds us of Jesus' merciful and profoundly human gaze. We pray for our commitment to walk in hope, with Him and together with many others.

Today we pray with the last part of the prayer for General Congregation XIX:

We will make with Jesus a path of hope

together with all those who seek a new way

of being human, of being Church and

 of being brothers and sisters. 

The Word illumines us

Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.  Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him and he sat down and began to teach them.  The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery; and making her stand before all of them, they said to him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery.  Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?”  They said this to test him, so that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”  And once again he bent down and wrote on the ground. When they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the elders; and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.  Jesus straightened up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”  She said, “No one, sir.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, and from now on do not sin again.”

St. Candida invites us

“You cannot imagine how happy we all are, conforming ourselves to the will of God and His Most Holy Mother, in the hope that He will obtain for me what I ask of Him, if it is for the greater glory of God; and, if not, that He will give us conformity and strength with His most holy will...”

Santa Candida María de Jesus – Letter # 1 to Fr. Miguel de San José Herranz sj 22 September 1872

It helps us to live

What is your hope?

With whom do you walk in hope?

Who can you bring along on your path of hope?
