Jesus was gaining followers. Rome might notice. Rome might intervene. So Caiaphas proposed a solution: one death to prevent many.What he did not realize was that he was prophesying.Today's readings connect this conspiracy to Ezekiel's vision of scattered Israel being gathered into one nation under one king. The death Caiaphas plotted became the means by which the dispersed children of God were brought home.The reflection explores how God turns the schemes of his enemies into the means of salvation, and what it means to be part of the gathering.📖 ReadingsFirst Reading: Ezekiel 37:21-28Responsorial: Jeremiah 31:10, 11-12abcd, 13Gospel: John 11: 45-56⏱️ Timeline00:00 Introduction00:15 Reading I - Ezekiel 37:21-2801:50 Psalm Response - Jeremiah 3106:14 Gospel - John 11: 45-5607:54 Reflection - Jesus Must Die for Israel🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?
