Mar 14, 2022. Gospel John 8:21-29. Monday of the Second Week of Lent.

[21]Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go, and you shall seek me, and you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, you cannot come. Dixit ergo iterum eis Jesus : Ego vado, et quaeretis me, et in peccato vestro moriemini. Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire. [22] The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go, you cannot come? Dicebant ergo Judaei : Numquid interficiet semetipsum, quia dixit : Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire? [23] And he said to them: You are from beneath, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world. Et dicebat eis : Vos de deorsum estis, ego de supernis sum. Vos de mundo hoc estis, ego non sum de hoc mundo. [24] Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin. Dixi ergo vobis quia moriemini in peccatis vestris : si enim non credideritis quia ego sum, moriemini in peccato vestro. [25] They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you. Dicebant ergo ei : Tu quis es? Dixit eis Jesus : Principium, qui et loquor vobis. [26] Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in the world. Multa habeo de vobis loqui, et judicare; sed qui me misit, verax est; et ego quae audivi ab eo, haec loquor in mundo. [27] And they understood not, that he called God his Father. Et non cognoverunt quia Patrem ejus dicebat Deum. [28] Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know, that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak: Dixit ergo eis Jesus : Cum exaltaveris Filium hominis, tunc cognoscetis quia ego sum, et a meipso facio nihil, sed sicut docuit me Pater, haec loquor : [29] And he that sent me, is with me, and he hath not left me alone: for I do always the things that please him. et qui me misit, mecum est, et non reliquit me solum : quia ego quae placita sunt ei, facio semper. Who is on the cross?  Why is He there?  Spend some quiet time with the Lord. Introit Psalm 25:11-12 [11]But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me. Ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum; redime me, et miserere mei. [12] My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord. Pes meus stetit in directo; in ecclesiis benedicam te, Domine.
