Tested in the garden of Gethsemane and on the cross, Jesus lives the truth with God-filled determination—he set his face like flint. Do we act with conviction, too? Text, Philip J. Sandstrom, STD © 1998, OCP. All rights reserved. JESÚS SE OLVIDÓ DE SÍ MISMO “¿Por qué lo desean? El Señor lo necesita”. Todo lo que hizo Jesús, lo hizo para hacerse humano y para que nosotros también pudiéramos ser como Dios. En Getsemaní y en la Cruz recibió la prueba. Y Jesús vive la verdad con la determinación que Dios le dio. Tú, ¿conduces tus actos con esa misma fe y determinación? Texto: Philip J. Sandstrom, STD © 1998, OCP. Derechos reservados.
