Evening: Psalms 114, 115; John 12:24-32
Jesus, speaking of his own death, says seeds cannot bear fruit unless they die. Now not many of us must die as he did. Instead, Jesus might say to us: “Let go! … Live fully! Don’t grimly ‘hang on for dear life’. If you have surrendered to some priority that is not life-giving, you cannot live fruitfully. You must die to whatever is not worthy of you, whatever does not bring joy to you or to others. Die to selfishness and greed: then you will live.” For him, this is our most important choice … and the world’s.
