We celebrate the gift of the Eucharist that gives us strength to serve the Lord and one another. May the Body of Christ renew our bodies and transform our lives each and every day.
At the Last Supper, Jesus foretells the betrayal of Judas and the denial of Peter. It is a dark moment, revealing to us both the reason why Christ came, and his commitment to offering his life on the Cross.
As we hear how the plot is swirling around Jesus, events are set in motion that will lead to the Cross. May we reflect on God’s great love story for our salvation, making any adjustments and corrections for the day that we, too, will journey from this life to the next.
Every year we hear God’s great love story when we recall the Passion of Jesus. Rather than fall into the trap of forgetfulness, we remember what Christ has done for us so that we might be renewed to offer our lives for the Lord.
The high priest, Caiaphas, offers a prophetic insight: “It is better for you, that one man should die instead of the people, so that the whole nation may not perish.” With these solemn words, we step into Holy Week.
Jesus reveals his identity while discussing Abraham and the prophets. This revelation that Jesus is God inspires us to follow the Lord in the midst of the blessings and burdens of daily life.
The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the book of Daniel is an well-known passage that illustrates our faith in God in difficult and challenging times. May we be inspired in our daily struggles to hold fast to our faith, recognizing that these are opportunities to witness our love for the Lord.
