Gospel Reading: Jn 12:20-33
"Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, if remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life." (Jn 12:24-25)
Pray the "Our Father" while meditating on the gift of eternal life.
