STAY WITH JESUS | The Word Exposed with Cardinal Tagle (March 24, 2024)
Today is the Sunday of the Lord’s Passion, the beginning of the Holy Week, that culminates in the celebration of the Paschal Triduum..
After we commemorate Jesus’s triumphant entrance into Jerusalem in the opening liturgy, the gospel would then take us to Jesus’s last supper with his disciples; his agony, arrest, and trial; his carrying of the cross on which he would be nailed at Golgotha. Seeing all these events leading up to Jesus’s last breath, the centurion proclaimed: “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
Friends, when we look at the Crucified Jesus, what do we see?
Do we see one who is like us in suffering? Do we see one who is in need of our compassion? Do we see that he is the Son of God who entered our humanity so he could bring us to the fullness of life in God?
Let us behold him who took the blows and was crucified for us.
