Wednesday of the Third Week of Lent
Readings of the Day
[link removed]
One of my favorite Lenten meditations is to sit quietly in front of a
crucifix and simply reflect on what I see. Christ crucified,
with arms outstretched. It is as if he is saying "I love
you this much" as he died. But, exactly what did He die
for? He died for each of us to be in right relationship,
with God and with each other.
That is what the cross represents. The vertical section
represents our relationship with God - the relationship between
human on the bottom, and the divine on the top. The horizontal
section is our relationship with each other as brothers and sisters in
Christ.
Being in right relationship with God and with each other is the
"law" the Jesus came to fulfill. When we sin, we
break those relationships. But, because of the forgiveness that
Jesus taught, preached and lived, we can repair those relationships
and be right with God and with each other. May this season of
Lent continue to be a time to love. In this way, we continue
Jesus' mission not to abolish - but rather to fulfill the law -
the law to love God and love each other.
Paul Kipfstuhl is the Social Action Director of Wayne, Ashland and
Medina Counties for Catholic Charities in Cleveland. He is also
a Permanent Deacon for the Diocese of Cleveland, assigned to St.
Francis Xavier Parish in Medina, Ohio.
