We continue to walk this Holy Week. After entering with Jesus<\/strong> on Palm Sunday<\/a>, learning on Monday <\/a>to love without calculation<\/strong>, allowing ourselves to be transformed on Tuesday <\/a>in the truth of the heart<\/strong> and recognizing on Wednesday <\/a>the call to rebuild bonds<\/strong>, today the journey leads us to the center of the Gospel: service. <\/p>\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n

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<\/strong>, with humility and concrete dedication. <\/p>\n\n

Today the call resounds loudly: “Take care of him” (GCXIX)<\/strong>. An invitation that becomes life in the everyday, in the small, in what often goes unnoticed. <\/p>\n\n

Therefore, we allow ourselves to be challenged:Who is Jesus inviting me today to care for with greater humility?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Perhaps the answer can be found in something very simple: to perform a concrete service to someone, without noise, with love.<\/p>\n\n

And from there, we pray: Lord, teach us to love by serving.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n
