“WHAT CAN MORTAL MAN DO TO ME?”

299th Meditation

“In God whose word I praise (…), in God I put my trust and have no fear; what can mortal man do to me?” (Ps 56:10-11).

If we give ourselves unreservedly to our Father, we will know how to accept even the difficult situations in our lives from His hand, so that they will be transformed from within. Read More

It is the Father who grants us true life through the sacrifice of His Son; a new life, which no longer has to hide from God because of its faults. “He was bearing our sins in his own body on the cross” (1 Pet 2:24), and we have been set free. Today is the great Friday, Good Friday! God, the Good One, has done all things well (cf. Mk 7:37). Read More

Judas consummated his betrayal and Jesus is apprehended. This happens after the Lord had accepted in Gethsemane the suffering from the hands of his Father and had given his ‘yes’ to all that was before him.

A YES that had to go through anguish and agony; a YES, after having asked his Father that, if possible, that cup might pass without his having to drink it (cf. Mt 26:39-44); a YES that expresses unconditional surrender to the Father; a YES out of love for us men. Read More
