Wednesday of the Holy Week: Reflection on the Gospel by Rev Fr Julian O Ekeh

 

PREPARE FOR THE PASSOVER

image from: Spirit of the Master: Why Do People Eat The Lord's Supper in Church Buildings Instead of Homes?

(Matthew 26:14-25)

Jesus charges His disciples to prepare for the Passover. He gives them instruction on where to go for it and how to get things ready. This is because His time is at hand.

Are you prepared to enter into the Triduum? Are you spiritually disposed for the Paschal Celebrations we are about to begin? Have you gone for confessions?  Are you ready to put yourself into the activities of the three holiest days? Have you taken the decision to follow Jesus to the end or to betray and deny Him along the line?

It will not really go down well spiritually with anyone who will miss this precious opportunity the Church is offering us this year to ponder on the cost of our salvation.

Get prepared dear Child of God. Put away every distraction. Overcome every temptation standing between you and God's holy desire for you this moment of grace. May God help us to prepare well for Easter.

LET US PRAY

Dear Lord, we pray to enter into the passion mood with You. Help us to prepare ourselves well to worthily celebrate the paschal feast of this year. May your grace see us through in all the spiritual activities of the Holy days ahead through Christ our Lord. Amen

God bless your Wednesday (Wednesday of the Holy Week)
