Commentary
“I Am the Resurrection
and the Life”
Death –
an unavoidable reality that we all face.
In normal
cycles of nature, to disasters, famines, wars, social and political crisis,
moral failures, sins, sickness, and our own mortality, …
In spite
of technological advances, social progress, discoveries, knowledge, and growth
in all aspects of life, we still have to face evils and death.
Just like
us, Martha and Mary struggled with the death of their brother.
To us,
just as to them, Jesus reveals, “I am the resurrection and the life.”
Lent
offers us the opportunities to face our failures, shortcomings, weaknesses, and
even death. We then can appreciate more
deeply the gift of life, both in this world and for all eternity, that God
alone can give us in the death and resurrection of God’s only Son.
