April 20 In Jesus, God has conquered evil and death. Jn.20:1-9
On this first day of the week, already illuminated by the Resurrection of Jesus, the Gospel invites us to join those who continue to seek Jesus in the darkness, those who accompanied him at the crossside

April 19. “Why do you seek the living among the dead? Jesus is not here. He rose again.” Lk. 24:1-12
With the Resurrection of Jesus, God infused in the world a longing for life that impels us to the hereafter… a hope that ends only with death when we too enter the fullness of life. Let

April 18. “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Jn. 18:1-19:42
In today’s liturgy we contemplate a terrible, overwhelming historical event, the bearer of a mystery that overwhelms us: the fact of Jesus’ death on the Cross and the mystery of life and salvation that arise from

April 17. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” Jn. 13:1-15
The Liturgy of Holy Thursday is the most demanding of the Easter cycle. Jesus leaves us a mandate that takes on its full meaning in the context of the Last Supper where Jesus proclaimed it. The

April 15. “Truly I say to you, one of you will betray me.” Jn. 13:21-38
Let us continue to try to penetrate the feelings of Jesus in those final days of his life. Today’s scene is deeply moving and revealing; Jesus reveals to his disciples the betrayal He is about to

April 14. There, in Bethany, they organized a dinner in his honor. Jn. 12:1-11
Today’s text contrasts with the environment in which the Gospel of these days has been placing us: the imminent arrival of the hour of Jesus. Today we find him in Bethany, the place of his rest,

April 11. He went to the east side of the Jordan… and He stayed there. Jn. 10:31-42
It is striking to contemplate how Jesus, tired of his diatribes with the Jews, trying to make them understand that God was their Father and that He had come into the world to announce that they,

April 10. “Before Abraham was, I AM.” Jn. 8:51-59
For the Jews, feeling like children of Abraham was a kind of title of honor that gave them recognition and credibility; their faith in Abraham was the way of saying that they were sons of Isaac

April 9. “If you keep my words, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (Jn. 8:31-42)
Truth and freedom are two words that seduce us; we easily think that we understand them, but how difficult it is to combine them and even more so to make them guide our lives. Truth and

April 8. “When they have raised up the Son of Man … they will know that I AM.” Jn. 8:21 30
Jesus continues to try to make known to the Jews his true identity: He reveals himself in his constant reference to God his Father; but his listeners, guided only by the criteria of the world to

April 7. “I am the light of the world.” Jn. 8:12-20
Today’s text invites us to meet Jesus at a time when he himself solemnly declares: “I am the light of the world; he who follows me does not walk in darkness”. How much we need to

April 4. My time that has not yet come. Jn. 7:1-10, 25-30
This is not the first time that Jesus speaks of his “hour”; He was well aware that his life in this world had a measured time and a mission, and that the Father would show him

April 3. The works are those that bear witness to Jesus. Jn. 5:31-47
In this long diatribe of Jesus with the Jews, Jesus clearly shows how his life has no other reason for being than to fulfill the mission for which He has been sent, and that mission is

April 2. Jesus and His Father. Jn. 5:17-30
Jesus, in the encounter with the Jews who reproach him for breaking the law by healing a paralytic, openly declares: “My Father continues to work and I also work”: a profoundly revealing statement of Jesus’ relationship

April 1. The paralytic at the pool of Bethany. Jn. 5:1-13
One more case of the contrast between Jesus, who loves life and puts it above all else, and the Jews, clinging to a law that gets lost in details and overlooks the good of the person.

March 31
“He realized that this was the hour.” (Jn. 4:54) It will be good to be in the attitude of the Galileans and the centurion: to welcome Jesus, to believe in his Word. Easter is approaching and

March 28
“Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God.” (Hosea 14:2) The Liturgy continues to offer us moving texts that invite us to conversion. This return to God is deeply rooted in the spirit of the prophets.

March 27:
“The kingdom of God has come to you.” (Lk. 11:20) What happened in Israel in Jeremiah’s day, that Jeremiah would say to him, “They did not listen or pay attention? On the contrary, they walked according

March 26
“And now, Israel, listen.” (Deut. 4:1) Israel is a people who have become accustomed to not having images of God. His Word is sufficient for them. God is a God who speaks, who guides them on

March 19 Saint Joseph
“All those who are apparently hidden or ‘second in line’ have an unparalleled role in the history of salvation…” “Faith does not distance us from the world, but inserts us more deeply into it,” says Pope

March 18
“One is your teacher, and you are all brothers and sisters.” (Mt. 23:1-12) The invitation that Jesus makes to us today is radical. The ‘synodal’ community that He proposes to us demands the renunciation of appearances,

March 17
“We have sinned.” (Dan. 9:5) Today the liturgy brings us back to the penitential attitudes that run through this Lenten season. It expects from the Church a change, a renewal, a walk in the ways of

March 14
“Go first to be reconciled to your brother.” (Mt. 5:24) It would be worth noting that in “The Sermon on the Mount,” a profile of the Christian in the Gospel of Matthew, the first commandment is

March 13
“If your son asks for bread, will you give him a stone?” (Mt. 7:7-10) Today the texts invite us to visit, in the Old Testament, the Book of Esther: the prayer of a woman who touches

March 12
“Mercy, my God, by your goodness…” (Ps. 50) On this beautiful Lenten journey, the Psalmist puts on our lips the words of David, repentant. The Babylonians, too, repented at Jonah’s preaching. It is us that Jesus

March 11
“When you pray, do not use too many words.” (Mt. 6:7) And yet, we do not want to leave the silent and permanent communion “with the one who we know loves us” (St. Teresa). Teresa tells

March 10
“Come, you who are blessed by my Father…” (Mt. 25:31-46) Where do your goods come from? If you think: it comes from my luck, you are an atheist, says St. Basil, if by God, they have

March 7
“Do not neglect your own.” (Isaiah 58:7) But does religious fasting still exist? A fast to try to convince God that we are good, or that we are rightly repairing our faults? “The fast that God

March 6
“Choose life.” (Deut. 30:19) We have begun Lent, and today we hear from the book of Deuteronomy that we are on the way, that the path proposes various paths to us. “Choose life,” advises us the

March 5
Ash Wednesday. “Repent and turn to me with all your heart.” (Jl. 2:12) If you haven’t read it yet, let’s take the pope’s latest encyclical, Dilexit (He loved us!) and carefully study the first chapter on
