Holy Thursday 2021: Stole and Towel
The Big Triduum
Well tonight we start the BIG three, better known as the Triduum. We wash feet, break bread, embrace our crosses and kick open the tomb again to the possibilities of a new life, an eternal life with our God so passionately in love with us. Here is a litany I found and will use on Easter. A blessed Easter for all of you.
“Lord of Easter promise, I live in Faith of the Resurrection, but such is the nature of my Faith, that so much of me remains entombed. Break open the tomb. Please respond “Break open the tomb” to each of these prayers.

Isaiah 50:4-9 / Matthew 26:14-25
Jesus speaks about his betrayer; Judas said, "Surely it is not I?"
Judas was able to conceal his plan from the other disciples, but he wasn't able to conceal it from Jesus. And this allows us to see how Jesus deals with sinners. One of the greatest mysteries of life is the tremendous respect God has for the free will of people.

Isaiah 49:1-6 / John 13:21-33, 36-38
Jesus talks about betrayal; The disciples were amazed at Jesus' words.
The surprising thing about Judas' plan to betray Jesus is that the other disciples had no idea of it. How could they have lived so close to Judas and been so blind to what was going on in his mind? There are two lessons here. First, our external words and actions may deceive others, but they will never deceive God.

Judas
criticizes Mary; "Why was this oil not sold?"
William Barclay says of Judas' reaction to Mary's anointing of the feet of Jesus: "Judas had just seen an action of surpassing loveliness; and he called it extravagant waste. He was an embittered man who took an embittered view of things." Judas' reaction illustrates an important fact: "We see things not as they are, but as we are." H. M. Tomlinson
Weekday homilies for the Holy Week:
Weekday homilies
for the Holy Week:
March 29 Monday: Jn 12:1-11: 1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 There they made him a supper; Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at table with him. 3 Mary took a pound of costly ointment of pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment. 4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was to betray him), said, 5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
Holy Week -5: Meditation: Jesus Betrayed
The betrayals of so many people ended in a tragedy of cosmic proportions. Let us pay particular attention to all those seemingly insignificant decisions made by the supporting actors in this melancholy drama. It won't be difficult to see ourselves in this play; each of us commits the same little murders every day.
Holy Week -3: Mystery of the Cross
Mystery of the Cross
*(R)
Redeem us, Lord, and make us redeemers by the mystery of the Cross*
1) Living the example of Jesus Christ, fidelity to our
commitment as religious/Christians, will lead to the cross. Jesus himself told
us that following him is reduced to three things: letting go ourselves, taking
up our cross, and following him (Lk 9 23). The cross is not merely a
possibility in religious life, or even a probability; it is an inevitability.

Isaiah 50:4-9 / Matthew 26:14-25
Jesus speaks about his
betrayer: Judas said, “Surely it is not I?”
Judas was able to conceal his plan from the other
disciples, but he wasn’t able to conceal it from Jesus. And this allows us to
see how Jesus deals with sinners. One of the greatest mysteries of life is the
tremendous respect God has for the free will of people. Jesus didn’t force
sinners to change their lives. Rather, he invited them to change. He appealed
to them to change. At every step of the way, Jesus dealt the same way with
Judas. He made Judas the treasurer of the group. He invited him to eat the Last
Supper, just as he did the others.

Holy Week -2 Meditation: Jesus Emptied
I
look at the crucified Lord here and in life. I see him stripped of everything:
*-Stripped
of dignity*, naked before his friends and enemies...
*-Stripped
of all his possessions*: I remember the times when people wanted just to touch the
fringe of his garments.
