That gospel episode about a blind man sitting on the wayside where Christ was passing by, reminds us about this point: we need to always have hope even if we already would feel totally helpless. (cfr. Lk 18,35-43)

That gospel episode about a fellow who, by insisting and disturbing a storeowner, finally got the bread he requested for a friend who arrived at his home in the middle of the night (cfr.

We are familiar with that part of the gospel where 10 lepers approached Christ begging for healing, and they were healed, but only one of them had the fine detail of going back to Christ to thank him, which made Christ very happy, of course. (cfr. Lk 17, 11-19)

In our Gospel today, Jesus cryptically says, “And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up” (John 3:14). Strange. Turning to the Old Testament story to which Jesus refers raises more questions but also gives us glimpses of answers.
