I will make with them a covenant of peace;
    it shall be an everlasting covenant with them,
    and I will multiply them, and put my sanctuary among them forever.
My dwelling shall be with them;
    I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
(Ez 37:21-28)

The everlasting covenant of peace that God promises is fulfilled in Jesus, who “pitches his tent among us,” who “makes his dwelling among us” (John 1:14). As we enter into this Holy Week, let us invite all our brothers and sisters to join us in being the sanctuary where God dwells with us.
