Holy Tuesday
MARCH 30, 2010
RESPONSORIAL PSALM:
"I will sing of your salvation."
In You O Lord, I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
In Your justice rescue me, and deliver me;
incline Your ear to me, and save me.
GOSPEL: (Jn 13:21-33, 36-38)
In this gospel is Jesus' Last Supper. Here, Jesus is like bading farewell to His disciples. He knew that He'd be betrayed by one of them. For me, Judas Iscariot plays a big role in the Salvation History.Though he betrayed Jesus, think about it, without him, will there be Jesus on the cross?
But of course, Judas shouldn't have exchanged Jesus for money.
In real life, we can see this. Many, especially politicians in corrupt countries, are exchanging their spiritual lives for their physical and mortal body. They don't realize that the most important things are found not in the material world that they live in but in the spiritual world that they are trading. They are blinded by gold and silver--by evil and temptation.
Today is Holy Tuesday, and for many times we have also betrayed Jesus. Countless times we have hurt Him by exchanging Him for material things. Let us not judge others because we too, have sinned. Also, let us not forget God's love for us. Jesus' love for us. He is always ready to forgive us no matter how grave we have sinned.
