Biarkan Kristus menuangkan air hidup-Nya ke dalam jiwamu yang lelah. Biarkan sabda-Nya mengalir seperti sungai kecil di padang gersang—pelan, tapi pasti membawa hidup. Dan ingatlah: Ia tidak hanya memanggil kita untuk bernubuat, tapi juga untuk disembuhkan.

Dalam setiap situasi, Tuhan selalu berbicara kepada kita dengan bahasa kasih. Ketika kita merasa lemah, Dia menguatkan. Ketika kita merasa sendirian, Dia mendampingi. Ketika kita merasa berdosa, Dia mengampuni. Mari kita membuka hati untuk menerima kasih-Nya dan membagikannya kepada sesama. Dengan begitu, kita bukan hanya menjadi pendengar firman, tetapi juga pelaku kasih Allah di dunia ini. Mari kita menggunakan bahasa kasih dalam setiap perjumpaan kita dengan siapa saja.

Di hadapan Yesus, tak ada posisi netral. "Barang siapa tidak bersama Aku, ia melawan Aku" (Luk 11:23).Hari ini, kita diundang untuk merenungkan: Apakah kita hanya sibuk dengan ritus dan ritual, tetapi lupa menjalani hidup dengan keadilan dan kasih? Apakah kita benar-benar bersama Yesus, atau kita justru masih setengah hati dalam mengikuti-Nya?

Mary has a special role in the work of redemption as the Mother of Jesus, which makes her the mediator of God's grace and presence in the history of human salvation. Although Mary is not considered the agent of redemption itself (which is the work of Jesus Christ), the Church sees her role as a cooperatrix or "partner in redemption," because of her obedience and willingness to be an instrument that brings salvation to the world.

It turns out that the works of art and culture of the nation's children can be included in the liturgy of the church. Art, culture and creativity, if combined properly, will provide a message that directs the human heart to a higher reality. The bell of Jesus' death is never wasted, but brings human life and salvation.

Faithful Catholics are called to reflect on the suffering and death of Jesus Christ on this day and to prepare for Easter celebrations with a focus on serving.
