Gospel - Mark 9: 2-10
Even though God spared Abraham’s son, Isaac, God’s own
Son, Jesus, was not spared, but rather was handed over for
the benefit of us all. Yet already today’s Gospel gives us a
hint of the resurrection to come. As we listen to these
readings, let us take time to ponder what ‘rising from the
dead’ means in our own lives.

When the hour came, he took his place at the table
with the apostles. He said to them, “I have eagerly
desired to eat this Passover with you before
I suffer, for, I tell you, I shall not eat it (again)
until there is fulfillment in the kingdom of God”.
Luke 22: 14-16
This Passover; Luke clearly identifies this last supper of Jesus with the apostles as a Passover meal that commemorated the
deliverance of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Jesus reinterprets the significance of the Passover by setting it in the
contest of the kingdom of God (Luke 22:16). The “deliverance” associated with the Passover finds its new meaning in the
blood that will be shed (Luke 22:20)
Celebrate an Authentic Passover Meal
From 33 A.S. with Christ Centered Overtones
We will use the meal Jesus Celebrated the night before he Died to understand the Eucharistic Celebration of
Today and the Meaning of Holy Week. Through this Celebration we will trace our roots to help us understand what
John meant when he said.
“Behold the Lamb of God.”
