Wednesday in the fourth week of Lent, 2021
Isa 49:8-15
Ps 30
John 5:17-30
In yesterday’s gospel reading, Jesus asked the paralyses man ‘Do you want to be well again?’ Jesus is often portrayed in the gospels as probing what it is that people really want.

Jesus is saying that he wants what God wants and that his will is in perfect harmony with God’s will. He expresses this deep desire within him in a different way at the beginning of this morning’s gospel reading when he declares that the Son, ‘can do only what he sees the Father doing’. As the Father gives life to all who are open to receive it, so too does the ... Read More »
