Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
"And the whole people said in reply, "His blood be upon us and upon our children." Matthew 27:25
Palm Sunday - You have said so. Words have power, I contemplate the words in today's readings. "Hosanna to the Son of David", as Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt from the crowds. The people cheering their King only to deny Him days later. Judas saying "Surely it is not I, Rabbi" when Jesus gives him the opportunity for confessions. Peter in his pride willing to die with Jesus only to deny Him three times. Pilates question "Are you the King of the Jews" only for Jesus to respond with "you say so". The crowd yelling "crucify Him", when they chose Barabbas over Jesus. Our own words will confirm or deny Christ in our lives. When judgement day comes, I wonder if Jesus will sit quietly like He did during His passion and we will see how our words will bring life or death to us. It is the beginning of Holy Week, contemplate the Passion of Christ and what role He plays in our life. He is the King of Glory.
What is God saying to me: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1. Words have power use them wisely.
Dear Father, You break down the Gospel today into bite size pieces highlighting key words to reflect upon. You showed how Jesus does not defend Himself other than using the words of those He is speaking with. What role do words play in our lives? Am I being obedient to Your Word, I pray I am but also know that Jesus died for me a sinner. Help me not become prideful in my journey, keep me humble of mind and body as we walk together. I pray that on judgement day that Your mercy fall upon me and the blood of Jesus, even in my ignorance always praise you. Prayers for the medical workers going out in Faith, prayers for the clergy bringing Your word to us, prayers for the end of this virus. Prayers for a special Holy Week, may we contemplate our own journeys and how we live out the gospel in our owns lives. You are the Son of David and You are my King, be greater in me. Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
St Joesph, pray for us.
