Tuesday, April 07, 2020 - Holy Tuesday - Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 13, 21-33. 36-38 - Salvation, O Christ, our King: obedient to the Father; like the lamb to the slaughter, you let yourself be led to the cross.
Easter is fast approaching, and today's Gospel traces what will happen and what Jesus will have to endure. He knows the people who will not be faithful to Him, namely Simon Peter and Judas Iscariot. They betrayed, but Jesus, in His divine nature, is not resentful.
Dear Christians, how many times have we betrayed Jesus? How many times have we abused his trust? Many times, by our actions, we have denied the faith and the Church. We may be able to deceive our colleagues, our family... but never God. On this day, then, let us examine our conscience. Jesus! May the power of your word change our lives.
