With all that daily comes to light about political battles and conniving, we might think this is a generation that has degenerated to the lowest level. However, today's first reading from the Book of Wisdom (1:1a, 12-22). reaffirms the truth that there is nothing new under the sun. Jeremiah, was subject to evil plotting, and certainly, Jesus, the ultimate "just one" suffered the same fate.
Our Lenten focus begins now to shift from our own praying, fasting and service to others, to Jesus and his upcoming passion and death. This "Good Guy" will suffer at the hands of the Evil One, but those sufferings and death will be the seed for new life. In Jesus is our hope; we need to keep this in mind when we read the newspapers and follow the news reports on television. Jesus overcomes all of this.
