  • Something New: Scott Hahn Reflects on the Fifth Sunday of Lent
    The Liturgy this Lent has shown us the God of the Exodus. He is a mighty and gracious God, Who out of faithfulness to His covenant has done “great things” for His people, as today’s Psalm puts it.
    But the “things of long ago,” Isaiah tells us in today’s First Reading, are nothing compared to the “something new” that He will do in the future.

  • Algo nuevo: Scott Hahn reflexiona sobre el 5º Domingo de Cuaresma
    Esta cuaresma, la Liturgia nos ha mostrado al Dios del Éxodo. Un Dios poderoso y lleno de gracia que, absolutamente fiel a su Alianza, ha hecho “grandes cosas” por su pueblo, como señala el salmo de hoy.
    Pero, como nos dice Isaías en la primera lectura de hoy, las “cosas del pasado” son nada comparadas con ese “algo nuevo” que Dios hará en el futuro.

  • Found Alive Again: Scott Hahn Reflects on the Fourth Sunday of Lent
    In today’s First Reading, God forgives “the reproach” of the generations who grumbled against Him after the Exodus. On the threshold of the promised land, Israel can with a clean heart celebrate the Passover, the feast of God’s firstborn son (see Joshua 5:6–7; Exodus 4:22; 12:12–13).
    Reconciliation is also at the heart of the story Jesus tells in today’s Gospel. The story of the Prodigal Son is the story of Israel and of the human race. But it is also the story of every believer.

  • Vueltos a la vida: Scott Hahn reflexiona sobre el 4º Domingo de Cuaresma
    En la primera lectura de este día, Dios perdona el “reproche” de las generaciones que murmuraron contra Él después del Éxodo. En el umbral de la tierra prometida Israel, con un corazón limpio, puede ya celebrar la Pascua, la fiesta del hijo primogénito de Dios (cfr. Jos 5,6-7; Ex 4,22; 12,12-13).
    La reconciliación se encuentra también en el corazón de la historia que Jesús narra en el Evangelio de hoy. La parábola del hijo pródigo es la historia de Israel y de la raza humana.

  • Fruits of the Fig: Scott Hahn Reflects on the Third Sunday of Lent
    In the Church, we are made children of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the God who makes known His name and His ways to Moses in today’s First Reading.
    Mindful of His covenant with Abraham (see Exodus 2:24), God came down to rescue His people from the slave drivers of Egypt. Faithful to that same covenant (see Luke 1:54–55, 72–73), He sent Jesus to redeem all lives from destruction, as today’s Psalm tells us.

  • The Glory in Sight: Scott Hahn Reflects on the Second Sunday of Lent
    In today’s Gospel, we go up to the mountain with Peter, John, and James. There we see Jesus “transfigured,” speaking with Moses and Elijah about His “exodus.”
    The Greek word “exodus” means “departure.” But the word is chosen deliberately here to stir our remembrance of the Israelites’ flight from Egypt.

  • Forty Days: Scott Hahn Reflects on the First Sunday of Lent
    In today’s epic Gospel scene, Jesus relives in His flesh the history of Israel.
    We’ve already seen that, like Israel, Jesus has passed through water and been called God’s beloved Son (see Luke 3:22; Exodus 4:22). Now, as Israel was tested for forty years in the wilderness, Jesus is led into the desert to be tested for forty days and nights (see Exodus 15:25).

  • Cuarenta días: Scott Hahn reflexiona sobre el Primer Domingo de Cuaresma
    En la escena épica del Evangelio de hoy, Jesús encarna en sí mismo la historia de Israel.
    Ya hemos visto que, como Israel, Jesús pasa a través del agua, y es llamado Hijo amado de Dios (cfr. Lc 3,22; Ex 4,22). Ahora, como Israel fue probado cuarenta años en el desierto,  Jesús es conducido allí para ser probado durante cuarenta días y noches (cfr. Ex 15,25).
