We just listened to the passion story as told by Luke. We’ve heard how Jesus shared His last meal with his friends giving them the gift we receive at this Mass, His body, His blood as the nourishment that strengthens us to face the struggles of life. We’ve heard of his agonizing prayer in the garden and his plea ‘if it is possible let this chalice pass me by – not my will but yours be done. We followed Jesus through those painful events of his betrayal and denial by his closest friends, his phony trial, and his humiliation as he dragged his cross thru the streets to outside the walls of the city to his place of execution. We are shocked by his cruel death and at the same time we still can’t believe that it was all for us. Jesus thought enough of you and me that he died for us.

We all know this story so well. Its early morning and the heat of the day has yet to arrive. Jesus comes into the temple area and people gather around to listen to what he has to say. An angry crowd of scribes and Pharisees intrude on Jesus’ gathering. They drag along a humiliated, frightened woman. She was caught committing adultery. They don’t have to remind Jesus, but they do, that the Law of Moses demands that such a woman should be stoned to death. I have no idea what the law says about a man caught in adultery. We’re quick to notice he is not on the scene. Maybe her husband took care of him by the famous crime of passion.
In this week’s bulletin, the Remembrance Meal of the Passover and our annual Earth Hour parish celebration.
Founded by St. Paul of the Cross, every Passionist takes a special vow to spend his or her energies in promoting remembrance of the sufferings of Jesus, the memory of the Cross, and reflection of the meaning of the Cross for the world.
