5th Sunday in Lent (B)

Short Reflection for the 5th Week of Lent (B)

Readings: Jeremiah 31: 33-34; Hebrew 5: 7-9; John 12: 20-33

Gospel Passage: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.” (Jn. 12: 24)

Short Reflection: In the coming days, the mystery of “falling and dying” and “producing much fruit” will unfold in that event of Jesus’s dying for us and rising from the dead.  We, too,  are invited to enter into this mystery through our own experiences of dying to sin, selfishness, and ‘littleness’… only to rise with Jesus in the new life of his Resurrection.
