Catholic Church

By Msgr. Charles Pope - It is Tuesday of Holy Week. Jesus likely arises early, as did all the ancients. Days both ended and started early, at dusk and dawn, prior to the advent of electric lighting. They leave Bethany and head back to Jerusalem. Perhaps a few converts can be made before the transcendent events of the Passion begin.

By Michael P. Foley, Catholic Education Resource Center - Our Lord could have easily humiliated His foes the way Achilles did Hector, but He chose instead to be humiliated by them, a move that took real courage… Christ's manliness transformed man's understanding of manhood, and it is this transformation that, through the development and mediation of the Catholic Church, became a new Western ideal.

By Frank Weathers, Patheos - I’m not saying it’s perfect, but it is worth sharing... It would be neat, for example, if the Holy Thursday description noted that the Messiah, the new Moses, institutes the New Passover Feast, the Eucharist, so we can be led out of bondage (this world) by him into the new promised land (the new heaven and earth), but who am I to criticize?
