TUESDAY OF THE HOLY WEEK

Is 49: 1-6; Jn 13:21-33,36-38

Date 30:03:2021

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ

During the Holy week we read about the agony of Jesus, how one would be feeling, knowing that after few days he has to be killed like thief on the cross? Today Jesus says one among you will betray me. Jesus knows who is going to betray Him yet he leaves him alone. Does nothing against him rather says "what you are going to do, do quickly."

Dear Brothers and Sisters, it is ones total submission to the will of God. On Sunday we heard in passion reading  Abba' father, all things are possible for you. Remove this chalice from me. Yet not what I will but what you will." the pain and agony he is going through is his human nature. Because he was both God and human.

The message for us today is,  we also at times betray or someone betrays us. To betray or not fully depends upon self. On the other hand when someone betrays us what would be our response? Can we leave him or her at the hand of God. To do so we need deep relationship with God. In the time of our agony lets be united with God and accept the will of God in life.

May God bless us. Amen.
