Weekly Reflection

REFLECTION:
As we gather on this 5th Sunday of Lent, we find ourselves immersed in the transformative journey
towards Easter. Lent is a season of reflection, repentance, and renewal—a time when we are
called to deepen our relationship with God and one another.
In today’s Gospel passage from John 12:20-33, Jesus speaks of his impending death and the
necessity of embracing transformation and renewal. He uses the metaphor of a grain of wheat
falling to the ground and dying in order to bear much fruit. This imagery reminds us that through
Christ’s sacrifice, we are offered the opportunity for new life and abundant growth. Just as the
grain of wheat undergoes a process of death and rebirth, so too are we called to undergo a similar
transformation. Lent provides us with a sacred space to examine our lives, identify areas in need
of renewal, and surrender them to God’s grace.
During this season, let us reflect on the ways in which we can die to self—letting go of pride,
selfishness, and sin—in order to experience the fullness of life that Christ offers. This may involve
repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation—both with God and with one another. Lent also invites
us to consider how we can contribute to the renewal of our communities and the world. As
followers of Christ, we are called to be agents of love, justice, and compassion in a world often
plagued by division and despair. Let us ask ourselves: How can we sow seeds of peace and
reconciliation in our families, workplaces, and neighbourhoods? How can we extend a hand of
friendship to those who are marginalized or in need? How can we advocate for systemic change
that promotes the dignity and well-being of all people?
As we journey through the remaining days of Lent, may we be inspired by the example of Jesus,
who willingly embraced the cross for the sake of love. Let us open our hearts to the transforming
power of God’s grace, trusting that through Christ’s death and resurrection, we are offered the
promise of new life. May this Sunday of Lent be a time of deep reflection, genuine repentance,
and joyful anticipation as we prepare to celebrate the miracle of Easter. – Fr Subin Thomas

Children’s Liturgy

Children’s Liturgy As a group we gather in the MacKillop Room, listen to the gospel, sing the Alleluia and discuss what it all means for us as followers of Jesus in 2015. We usually respond to the word in a number of ways- using drama, mediation, song, drawing and creating in a meaningful way. We conclude with Prayers of the Faithful, often sharing our own prayers from the heart with each other. We often receive more spiritual wisdom from the children than that from a lot of adults!!
