Reflections
GOSPEL:
Matthew 26:14-27:66 or
27:11-54
This gospel is a reading of the passion
(or suffering) of Christ. On this Sunday
we are reading it “according to
Matthew.” We see Jesus betrayed by
two of his friends, Judas and Peter, and
by the crowd. We see him mocked and beaten
by the soldiers who laughingly
“honor” him as King of the Jews.
Wounded, crowned with thorns, and dying a
little more each step of the way, Jesus
carries his cross to Calvary. His
suffering is so great that he wonders if
even God has left him to die alone. Still
Jesus willingly gives up his spirit. With
the centurion we pray: “Clearly, this
was the Son of God!”
1.)
Jesus offered his entire life and his
entire self to the Father, including his
suffering and death. He did this
voluntarily. Even though he was God, he
chose “the lowest place” out of
love. We, like Jesus, suffer because we
are human. People still suffer, here in
our own country and around the world. Can
you name some of the ways and some of the
reasons why people suffer
today?
2.)
What does Jesus want us to do about human
suffering? (Think about the parable of the
Good Samaritan.) Think of one way your and
your group could help lessen human
suffering in some way. Then do so, in the
name of Jesus.
