4th Week of Lent – Saturday C
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, the Lord give you peace. As we gather today, on this Saturday dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, we are invited to reflect on the gradual persecution faced by our Lord Jesus Christ, which leads us toward the solemnity of Holy Week. The readings give us a good sense of the weight of conflict and misunderstanding that surrounded Jesus, which would merely be a foreshadowing of the great sacrifice that He would soon make for our salvation.
