Fifth Week of Lent | You Are a Grain of Wheat
Manage episode 358736747 series 179605
In this podcast, as we continue our Lenten devotions, Fr. Peter Armenio explores the theme of taking up the yoke of Jesus in order to follow him. Following Jesus inevitably entails bearing our cross daily of which suffering is the raw material: “Whether it's emotional, mental, psychological, moral, spiritual, physical, that's the raw material.”
We all experience suffering to a greater or lesser degree. The key is not to turn away from suffering or to give up following Jesus when our suffering, our cross, seemingly becomes too great to bear. Rather we must become the grain of wheat that falls to the earth and dies; in doing so, we become Christ to others. As Fr. Peter says, “I become intimately part of the Holy Mass, the Eucharistic sacrifice, if I die with Him, if I connect with His cross, I become Christ.”
In this podcast, you will also hear how:
- The cry of modern society is to see Jesus, and he wants his followers to show him to others through the witness of their lives.
- Two young people used their illness and suffering to become grains of wheat and gave life to others through their unity with Christ.
- When we connect with the cross of Christ, we “buy grace” for others, and as we do so, we become that “grain of wheat.”
