Yesterday we began Holy Week with Palm Sunday<\/a>, entering into it with Jesus, allowing ourselves to be touched by his humility. Today, Easter Monday, we are invited to dwell on what is essential: to love without measure and to care tenderly for the fragile.<\/p>\n\n

In Betania, a gesture of love fills the whole house with perfume. When someone truly loves, good spreads and reaches much more than we can imagine. This is true love: it does not calculate, it does not measure, it does not hold back. It is a love that knows how to stop, as Jesus did, always attentive to those who needed “Life”. <\/p>\n\n

Today, in the midst of our world, we too are called to incarnate this concrete and gratuitous love. A love that responds to the reality that is urging us to understand ourselves in a new way as Daughters of Jesus (GC XIX), a love that does not pass by in the face of pain, that is involved and caring. <\/p>\n\n

Therefore, the Word and life ask us with simplicity and depth:Where am I called today to care more freely <\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n

Perhaps the answer becomes an everyday gesture: a phone call, a message to someone who is having a hard time. A good deed done in silence, without expecting recognition. Small gestures that, like the perfume in Bethany, fill the house of the world with new life. <\/p>\n\n

And from there, we pray together: Lord, make us people who care.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
