    Good Friday

    Good Friday

    Jn 18:1-19:42 Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come
    to pass from this world to the Father.
    He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.
    The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over.
    So, during supper,
    fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power
    and that he had come from God and was returning to God,
    he rose from supper and took off his outer garments.
    He took a towel and tied it around his waist.
    Then he poured water into a basin
    and began to wash the disciples’ feet
    and dry them with the towel around his waist.
    He came to Simon Peter, who said to him,
    “Master, are you going to wash my feet?”
    Jesus answered and said to him,
    “What I am doing, you do not understand now,
    but you will understand later.”
    Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.”
    Jesus answered him,
    “Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me.”
    Simon Peter said to him,
    “Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well.”
    Jesus said to him,
    “Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed,
                for he is clean all over;
    so you are clean, but not all.”
    For he knew who would betray him;
    for this reason, he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

    So when he had washed their feet
    and put his garments back on and reclined at table again,
    he said to them, “Do you realize what I have done for you?
    You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’  and rightly so, for indeed I am.
    If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet,
    you ought to wash one another’s feet.
    I have given you a model to follow,
    so that as I have done for you, you should also do.”

    Wednesday of Holy Week

    Wednesday of Holy Week

    Mt 26:14-25 One of the Twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot,
    went to the chief priests and said,
    “What are you willing to give me
    if I hand him over to you?”
    They paid him thirty pieces of silver,
    and from that time on he looked for an opportunity to hand him over.

    On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread,
    the disciples approached Jesus and said,
    “Where do you want us to prepare
    for you to eat the Passover?”
    He said,
    “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him,
    ‘The teacher says, "My appointed time draws near;
    in your house I shall celebrate the Passover with my disciples.”‘“
    The disciples then did as Jesus had ordered,
    and prepared the Passover.

    When it was evening,
    he reclined at table with the Twelve.
    And while they were eating, he said,
    “Amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me.”
    Deeply distressed at this,
    they began to say to him one after another,
    “Surely it is not I, Lord?”
    He said in reply,
    “He who has dipped his hand into the dish with me
    is the one who will betray me.
    The Son of Man indeed goes, as it is written of him,
    but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed.
    It would be better for that man if he had never been born.”
    Then Judas, his betrayer, said in reply,
    “Surely it is not I, Rabbi?”
    He answered, “You have said so.”

    Tuesday of Holy Week

    Tuesday of Holy Week

    Jn 13:21-33, 36-38 Reclining at table with his disciples, Jesus was deeply troubled and testified,
    "Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me."
    The disciples looked at one another, at a loss as to whom he meant.
    One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved,
    was reclining at Jesus' side.
    So Simon Peter nodded to him to find out whom he meant.
    He leaned back against Jesus' chest and said to him,
    "Master, who is it?"
    Jesus answered,
    "It is the one to whom I hand the morsel after I have dipped it."
    So he dipped the morsel and took it and handed it to Judas,
    son of Simon the Iscariot.
    After Judas took the morsel, Satan entered him.
    So Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."
    Now none of those reclining at table realized why he said this to him.
    Some thought that since Judas kept the money bag, Jesus had told him,
    "Buy what we need for the feast,"
    or to give something to the poor.
    So Judas took the morsel and left at once. And it was night.

    When he had left, Jesus said,
    "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
    If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself,
    and he will glorify him at once.
    My children, I will be with you only a little while longer.
    You will look for me, and as I told the Jews,
    'Where I go you cannot come,' so now I say it to you."

    Simon Peter said to him, "Master, where are you going?"
    Jesus answered him,
    "Where I am going, you cannot follow me now,
    though you will follow later."
    Peter said to him,
    "Master, why can I not follow you now?
    I will lay down my life for you."
    Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me?
    Amen, amen, I say to you, the cock will not crow
    before you deny me three times."

    Monday of Holy Week

    Monday of Holy Week

    Jn 12:1-11 Six days before Passover Jesus came to Bethany,
    where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
    They gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served,
    while Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with him.
    Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil
    made from genuine aromatic nard
    and anointed the feet of Jesus and dried them with her hair;
    the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
    Then Judas the Iscariot, one of his disciples,
    and the one who would betray him, said,
    "Why was this oil not sold for three hundred days' wages
    and given to the poor?"
    He said this not because he cared about the poor
    but because he was a thief and held the money bag
    and used to steal the contributions.
    So Jesus said, "Leave her alone.
    Let her keep this for the day of my burial.
    You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me."

    The large crowd of the Jews found out that he was there and came,
    not only because of him, but also to see Lazarus,
    whom he had raised from the dead.
    And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,
    because many of the Jews were turning away
    and believing in Jesus because of him.

    Friday of the Fifth Week of Lent

    Friday of the Fifth Week of Lent

    Jn 10:31-42 The Jews picked up rocks to stone Jesus.
    Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father.
    For which of these are you trying to stone me?”
    The Jews answered him,
    “We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy.
    You, a man, are making yourself God.”
    Jesus answered them,
    “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, ‘You are gods”‘?
    If it calls them gods to whom the word of God came,
    and Scripture cannot be set aside,
    can you say that the one
    whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world
    blasphemes because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
    If I do not perform my Father’s works, do not believe me;
    but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me,
    believe the works, so that you may realize and understand
    that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”
    Then they tried again to arrest him;
    but he escaped from their power.
    He went back across the Jordan
    to the place where John first baptized, and there he remained.
    Many came to him and said,
    “John performed no sign,
    but everything John said about this man was true.”
    And many there began to believe in him.
