La reflexión cuaresmal de hoy es de Teresa Gutiérrez de Donan, quien comparte una historia personal que explora el significado del discipulado en nuestras vidas.

Today’s Lenten reflection is from Teresa Gutiérrez de Donan, who shares a personal story exploring the meaning of discipleship in our lives.

But over time I came to understand something that today’s Gospel reveals with great power: God does not abandon His children in the darkness of the tomb.

Pero con el tiempo comprendí algo que el Evangelio de hoy revela con fuerza: Dios no abandona a sus hijos en la oscuridad del sepulcro.

At the heart of our faith is not human failure, but a love stronger than sin, revealed on the Cross.

El centro de nuestra fe no es el fracaso humano, sino un amor más fuerte que el pecado, revelado en la Cruz.

Human dignity continues to be formed and tested within the womb of creation itself, where entire communities are wounded, displaced, excluded, or forgotten by systems of power and fear.

Teresa Gutiérrez de Donan reflects on the call to active hope: trusting in God's faithfulness, standing with vulnerable communities and embodying the Passionist mission of presence, compassion and solidarity.
