Breaking Open The Word

March 25, 2018

Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord

First Reading: Isaiah 50:4-7 Isaiah describes the pain and insults of the Servant of God. Yet he sounds hopeful when describing God as his help, knowing he will not be disgraced. Second Reading: Philippians 2:6-11 Paul exults Christ’s great sacrifice of humbling Himself to become human and die on the cross. He explains that this is why we should now realize the importance of honoring both his name and memory. Gospel: Mark 14:1-15:47 Mark describes the events leading up to Christ’s crucifixion. The Last Supper is described, explaining where the Eucharist began. Judas betrays Jesus and His suffering at the hands of the Sanhedrin (Council) is detailed. Consider/Reflect: May the words of Isaiah and Paul help set the stage for our Holy Week. The gospel of Mark provides details of the passion not just to provide information but to rouse us to break from routine and ordinariness and appreciate the saving mystery of salvation. We may read and reflect upon the scriptures and find great meaning as we live in 2018. The suffering servants are those displaced by war and the natural disasters. Those trying Christ are the oppressors, attacking Christians in various parts of the world as the Sudan, Syria and Nigeria. The passion of Christ continues today when wars rage, poverty grows, exploitation reigns, and worst of all, indifference to suffering continues. We are called this week to die and rise with the Christ. Pope Francis has asked that we not be robbed of our missionary enthusiasm. He tells us not to look the other way but to address the cause, as well as the effects, out of concern for those who are marginalized and suffering. May this be a new approach to Holy Week. What does your use of words reveal about your faith in Jesus and your willingness to do God’s will?
