Mass Readings – Saturday of the 5th Week of Lent
In the Gospel today the stage is set for the drama of the Lord’s Passion. The Sanhedrin is convened to figure out what to do about Jesus as his followers increase. The issue: if the crowds become a mob the Romans will come and take away their land and their nation. It’s a perfect storm of religion and politics, and at the center is one who is innocent: the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
