Praised be Jesus and Mary. On this day before Palm Sunday, the reality of our
Lord's passion and death become more apparent. His enemies engage in some really strange
reasoning. Jesus performs unbelievable miracles, and many people come to faith in him. Therefore,
he must be put to death. With each day, the hatred of the Jewish religious leaders increases.
And the more astounding the miracles Jesus performs, the more determined they are to
put him to death.
Caiaphas prophesies that it is better for you to have one man die for the people than
to have the whole nation destroyed. To them, faith is a threat. Their way of life may be
at an end.
As so often in St. John's Gospel, Jesus' enemies speak the truth without understanding it.
You know, faith is indeed a threat. Faith disrupts our lives. Faith calls us to do things
that are new.
If we were ему, we wouldn't!
Anxiety.
Confidence.
Unbeliever or despair.
Tinier faith.
If we are young, we will become wrap up.
For most of us, faith tells us to be small.
Dear ball, ya toho.
I wasn't ready to be with you.
I was yet ready to be with you.
And I know I see things change.
My vows fail me onto the cross.
And my nature.
And my doggos.
And allies.
They lucky me.
But I ain't got the cords on my life.
And all the layers on my body.
And I'm twice as courageous of a father by just trickling down on more sum of Edition.
And of chuela's sake, sure.
Onlyatinae state.
The bag-oil unsees won't be to put.
tells us that Jesus was to die for the nation
and for more than the nation.
But he did not die as a soldier might die for his country
or as a hero might die to save someone else's life.
You know, for here, to die for means to die in place of us.
Our sins had condemned us to everlasting death,
but our Lord willingly offered himself in sacrifice
so that all people might be freed from the chains of sin
and death.
And gathered, gathered together as the one people of God.
Now, this is the mystery that we're about to celebrate
in the church's most solemn days, the days of Holy Week.
Let us make an effort, you know, to enter into these most sublime mysteries.
With our Heavenly Mother,
she who pondered these mysteries in our heart.
