The end is near!…of Lent that is. Today we celebrate Jesus’ triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. Jesus is treated like the King He is. People gather along the streets and lay palm branches and cloaks along the road. Luke records that the people shouted with great joy praising God saying, “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord.
Peace in heaven and glory in the highest.” They could not get enough of Jesus. They had seen all of the great miracles Jesus had done. He had won over the people even if the leaders still resisted Him. Today kicks off the holiest week of the year. Again, we kick the week off with Palm Sunday. We move through the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and finally end with the Resurrection. Sometimes people ask me why crosses in the Catholic Church have a body on them. Most of our Protestant brothers and sisters do not have a body on their crosses. Jesus has risen so why do we have bodies on our crosses? Yes, Jesus has risen, but rising was the easy part. It was the sweating of blood, the arrest, betrayal of friends, the scrounging, the humiliation of the crown of thorns, the weariness of carrying the cross, and finally the excruciating pain of dying on the cross that was the hard part. But Jesus did this because He has an eternal loving thirst for the salvation of each one of us. Not to be a party-pooper, but if we are honest about our lives, hopefully we have lots of times of joy, but even in the joy, most often life is a struggle…a struggle to become better today than we were yesterday. A struggle to overcome the evil that drags us down. When we are struggling, we can join our sufferings to the sufferings of Christ and not rely on our own strength. Colossians 1:24 says, “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of his body, which is the church…” In some ways there is nothing lacking in Christ’s afflictions on the Cross. His sufferings and death on the Cross covers anyone’s sins who avail themselves to the forgiveness and mercy of God. However, our lives often contain suffering. We can join our sufferings to Christ’s on the Cross for the redemption of humanity. Jesus allows us to participate in the redemption of humanity through our own suffering. Suffering does not need to be wasted. It can be, when joined to Christ on the Cross, because the means of some of the most powerful prayer there is. If you are suffering, know that you are not alone. Look at a crucifix and know that you are not suffering alone. Christ is suffering with you and you with Christ on His Cross. Give Him your emptiness and loneliness. He is strong enough to bear it. He did so just for you on the Cross. This is a glorious week. Good triumphs over evil. The victory is secured. Allow yourself to enter deeply into the mystery of each day of the Triduum. I hope to see you. God bless, Father Vogel
