‘It is finished!’ God’s word for fulfillment for you
The readings for this day help to nail home the message of our recent Wednesday series: “Why Easter?” Then we heard Jesus give His answers as to why His baptized and rightly confessing people still celebrate the greatest of the Five High Feasts of the early Church.
Today, during the Great Triduum, we hear again from prophecy and from Jesus. Today, through the readings, hymns, and Psalm canticles, Jesus reminds us how He fulfilled His ancient Word concerning how God would rescue His people from the wages that their/our sins earn. Those, for all who don’t believe in the Christ of the Scriptures, are the second death and an enduring separation from God. …For more, click on the title above.

1. The betrayal of Jesus by his friend, Judas,
2. The vengeance that is yet to come upon the enemies of our Lord, and
3. To continue in our Lenten theme, “Why Easter?”

Crucify Him!
On Sunday we celebrated the royal glory of the King of Israel as He triumphantly entered Jerusalem. There was a great crowd gathered in the Holy City for the Passover festival as they were celebrating their deliverance from slavery in Egypt. The Israelites were remembering the blood of the lamb that was on their doorposts as a sign that death would pass over them. When they heard Jesus was coming, they took palm branches to go out and meet Him. The Palm branches were waved as a symbol of deliverance, victory, and triumph….For more, click on the title above.
