The Weeping Savior

In his Gospel reflection for the Fifth Week of Lent, Tony Crescio focuses on what the exile experience of the People of Israel has to teach us about life this side of eternity. Just as the People of Israel experienced a spiritual death in being exiled, so too sin results in the spiritual death of the soul and, ultimately, bodily death that brings our time in this life to an end. But God did not create us for death. And the tears of Our Savior manifest just how much God loves life, and is willing to do anything to ensure that we have the life He created us for.
