We continue to walk this Holy Week. After entering with Jesus on Palm Sunday, learning on Monday to love without calculation, allowing ourselves to be transformed on Tuesday in the truth of the heart and recognizing on Wednesday the call to rebuild bonds, today the journey leads us to the center of the Gospel: service.
Jesus kneels down and washes the feet of his friends. In this simple and profoundly human gesture, he reveals to us the heart of God: a love that cares, that lifts up, that accompanies.
Jesus’ authority is not in power, but in service. And to follow Him is to learn to live in this way. Here the Gospel becomes clear: to care for the lives of others, with humility and concrete dedication.
Today the call resounds loudly: “Take care of him” (GCXIX). An invitation that becomes life in the everyday, in the small, in what often goes unnoticed.
Therefore, we allow ourselves to be challenged:
Who is Jesus inviting me today to care for with greater humility?
Perhaps the answer can be found in something very simple: to perform a concrete service to someone, without noise, with love.
And from there, we pray: Lord, teach us to love by serving.
