5th Week of Lent - Thursday C
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, today’s readings invite us to reflect deeply on the profound love our Lord has for us and the mystery of His dual nature as both divine and human. In the Old Testament reading from Genesis, we witness God’s call to Abram, later named Abraham. This moment is not just a name change or a covenant; it is a profound expression of divine love. God promises Abraham that he will be the father of a multitude of nations, and through him, God establishes a lasting covenant. The relationship between God and Abraham is beautifully reciprocal: God pledges fidelity to Abraham and his descendants, and in return, Abraham is called to remain faithful to God.
