  • Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani?

    by Paul O'Reilly, SJ
    The film Schindler's List tells the story of one of them: Oskar Schindler. It is shot almost entirely in black and white because, as its director, Stephen Spielberg says, that is the color of hindsight. Schindler is not everyone’s kind of hero and his immense moral stature is not always obvious to his contemporaries. He is one of the most lapsed Catholics imaginable: alcoholic, philandering, corrupt; faithless in marriage, friendship and business. His methods of business are flattery, fraud and bribery. Only in wartime can such a man thrive. Only in wartime can such a man be a hero. Only in wartime can such a man be a beacon of goodness and hope. Because, in a way that is obvious to the audience, with 20/20 hindsight, but virtually never appreciated by his contemporaries, Schindler is saving the lives of several thousand Jews by hiding them in plain sight in his factories. As one of them tells him, ‘To save a life is to save the world entire.’ At the end of the film, Schindler, in a rare (and almost certainly unhistoric) moment of introspection and self-doubt, enquires of himself if he could have done more and believes with agony that he probably could. The audience is moved to ask if others could not also have done much more...
  • The Cross as Revealing the Inner Life of God

    by Ron Rolheiser, OMI
    On the cross, there is not just one person, Jesus. Ultimately all three persons in the Trinity—Father, Son, and Spirit—are on the cross.* On the surface, of course, we see Jesus, the Son. What’s he doing? He’s suffering and dying, but in a particular way. He hangs on the cross in anguish, dying, alone, humiliated, misunderstood, but he also hangs there in trust and fidelity, giving his life away without resentment, recrimination, and bitter questioning because he knows and trusts someone deeply enough to, literally, believe in the sun even when it isn’t shining, in love even when it isn’t showing itself, and in God even when God is silent. We see Jesus on the cross, but we see him there clinging to someone else with a trust that turns hatred into love, curses into blessing, bitterness into graciousness, recrimination into understanding, and God’s silence into faith. On the cross, we see one person, but as being held and empowered by somebody else...

  • Under His Wings

    by Sil Galvan
    An article in National Geographic several years ago described the following scene. After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother's wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. When the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast. Because she had been willing to die, those under the cover of her wings would live.

  • Thy Will Be Done

    by Phil Bloom
    Perhaps you have heard about King Henry of Bavaria. Being a man of deep piety, the intrigues of court life made him weary. Henry decided that he wanted to spend his final years in a monastery. He approached Prior Richard with the request. Fr. Richard explained the strict rules of prayer and work. King Henry listened eagerly and said he would gladly accept that discipline. The prior told the king he would have to pledge unquestioning obedience to the superior. King Henry said, yes, he knew how authority worked and he would obey the superior without question. "Then," said Prior Richard, "Go back to your throne and do your duty in the station God assigned you." The monk's words shocked the king, but he obeyed and became one of the fairest rulers in Europe. After his death, the people called for his canonization. The King who learned obedience to the Father's will is now known as St. Henry of Bavaria.
  • God Is Guilty?

But they explored different aspects of the passion narratives from the Gospels, including this one from Matthew we just proclaimed and look at the list of possible defendants...
  • Everyday Crosses

    by Delmer Chilton
    At a pastors conference a few years ago, I heard Presbyterian preacher Lloyd John Ogilvie tell about a time he was in a jewelry store buying a watch battery. While he was there, a young woman came in and asked to see some crosses. The clerk took her to a display case and proceeded to show her a selection of expensive crosses. Most of them were large, fashion accessory crosses. The young woman said, “Oh, I don’t want anything like that. I want an everyday cross.” When I heard those words, I began to wonder, “Does she, do I, do any of us, really want to carry a cross every day?”
  • Passion Sunday (A)(2020)

    by Katie Hines-Shah
    The recent film Just Mercy, based on the book of the same name, tells the story of Walter McMillan, an innocent man nearly sent to death, and the lawyer, Bryan Stevenson, who fought for his release. Last January Bryan Alexander interviewed Stevenson for USA Today. When Stevenson first began representing wrongly convicted men in Mississippi, people would tell him he ought to visit the To Kill a Mockingbird museum. Stevenson told Alexander, “I had the same response every time: ‘I’d love to, but I’m really busy freeing an innocent black man who has been wrongly convicted of a crime and facing execution’ . . . the disconnect between romanticizing that story and indifference to injustice in a real wrongful conviction, that very much parallels my story.”...
  • The Suffering of Jesus and Others

    by Katie Hines-Shah
    Matthew writes about Jesus’ unjust conviction, torture, humiliation, and crucifixion. While the back and forth of the trial takes up the majority of the assigned reading, many Christians will focus on the more physical parts of the story. Matthew’s writing is terse. The torture of Jesus takes place in a subclause: “after flogging him.” His execution is more a description of time than of action: “and when they had crucified him..” This hasn’t stopped some from imagining grimmer details. I have read descriptions of the process of flogging that will turn your stomach. I have heard pastors debate the location of nails on a crucified body. There are long chapters in books about blood and gore, suffering and pain. Mel Gibson’s controversial film The Passion of the Christ focused on the torture and crucifixion of Jesus to the exclusion of other elements of the story. David Edelstein called it a “two hour snuff-movie.” Roger Ebert wrote that it was “the most violent movie I have ever seen,” yet, as a former altar boy, he thought the film aptly portrayed “the central event in Christian tradition.” There are plenty of Christians that agree with him...
  • Sermon Starters (Passion Sunday)(A)(2020)

    by Scott Hoezee
    She didn’t know what else to say. As a mother, she had always steered well clear of religious clap-trap, even priding herself on not force-feeding her children to believe in anything when it came to spiritual matters. But then a beloved neighbor died. He had been a kindly old man whom this woman’s children had adopted as a kind of local grandpa. But now he was dead, and the woman’s young son was very upset. The little boy wanted to know why this had to happen. So his mother reached for some naturalistic rhetoric. “It’s just the way of the world, honey. It’s part of the natural cycle of all things, and so our friend has now returned to the earth. And next spring, when you see the daffodils and tulips coming up, you can know that your friend is helping to fertilize them.” The little boy did not hesitate. He shrieked, “But I don’t want him to be fertilizer!” In relating that story, author Peter Kreeft notes that indeed, even the non-religious in this world have a deep-down sense that humanity is meant to be more than fertilizer. Death is a natural part of the world, yet internally we rebel.
  • What Does the 'Blood Curse' of Matthew's Passion Teach Chrisitans?

    by Terrance Klein
    In his “Passion of Saint Matthew” Johann Sebastian Bach follows up the blood curse with a magisterial alto aria, “Können Tränen meiner Wangen.” If the tears upon my cheeks can Nought accomplish, Oh, then take my heart away! But then let amidst the streaming Of the wounds abundant bleeding Be the sacrificial cup! Bach implicates us all. We hate Christ; we fail to pity him. Yet, how can we not be softened by the sight of his suffering? How can it not move our souls? It does move us, surely, but is it enough? On our part, no. On the part of Christ, yes.
  • The Passion of Jesus

    by Ron Rolheiser, OMI
    The renowned spiritual writer Henri Nouwen, shares how he once went to a hospital to visit a man dying of cancer. The man was still relatively young and had been a very hardworking and generative person. He was the father of a family and provided well for them. He was the chief executive officer in a large company and took good care of both the company and his employees. Moreover he was involved in many other organizations, including his church, and, because of his leadership abilities, was often the one in charge. But now, this once-so-active man, this person who was so used to being in control of things, was lying on a hospital bed, dying, unable to take care of even his most basic needs. As Nouwen approached the bed, the man took his hand. It’s significant to note the particular frustration he expressed: “Father, you have to help me! I’m dying, and I am trying to make peace with that, but there is something else too: You know me, I have always been in charge—I took care of my family. I took care of the company. I took care of the church. I took care of things! Now I am lying here, on this bed and I can’t even take care of myself. I can’t even go to the bathroom! Dying is one thing, but this is another! I’m helpless! I can’t do anything anymore!”
  • The Cross as Revealing the Inner Life of God

    by Ron Rolheiser, OMI
    There’s a particularly poignant line in the account of Jesus’ death which says that, when he died, “the veil in the sanctuary was torn from top to bottom.” I remember, as a boy, hearing that read in church, picturing it literally, and thinking: “Now they’ll know what a terrible thing they’ve done!” But that line doesn’t refer to some ominous, dark sign at the moment of the crucifixion, meant to stun the world and prove it made a gross mistake. It refers to something else, not dark and fateful at all. The sanctuary veil was the curtain that hung between the ordinary people and the holy of holies—the most sacred of all places—and prevented them from seeing what was behind. What the gospel-writers are saying is that, at the moment of Jesus’ death, the veil that sits between us and the inner life of God was ripped open so that we can now see what God looks like inside. The cross, then, is the ultimate icon, the real depiction of the Holy. It shows us God’s heart, the inner life of the Trinity...
  • Costly Love of The Passion

    by Alex Thomas
    A few years ago there was a book by Margaret Craven called I HEARD THE OWL CALL MY NAME. It was a heartwarming novel about a young priest who went into the Native mission of Kingcome up the coast of B.C.. The people looked at him with suspicion and didn’t really accept him at first. They always talked about building a new rectory but never did. But as time went on he became totally involved with their lives. He faced sickness with them. He faced tragedy with them. He faced death with them. He entered into their sadness. Eventually a group of people came to say that they were ready to build the rectory. The priest wrote the Bishop about this turn of events, and the Bishop wrote back, “You suffered with them, and now you are theirs, and nothing will ever be the same again.”...
  • A Crucified God

    by Debie Thomas
    Some years ago, when my daughter was in middle school, she became anorexic. During the worst of her illness, she had to be hospitalized for both her physical and mental health. On the morning of her admission, after the doctors explained that I would not be able to see my depressed, malnourished child for several days, I walked out of the hospital, got into my car, and started driving without aim or purpose. I ended up in the parking lot of a Catholic gift shop I’d never seen before. Shaking, I walked in and wandered the aisles until a woman with a kind face approached me. “Can I help you find anything?” she asked. I burst into tears and said nothing. She gave me a hug and said, “Wait here.” After disappearing for a minute, she returned with a small, velvet box. Inside it was a tiny silver crucifix on a chain. Pressing the necklace into my hands, she said, “Hold this. Keep it with you. Only a suffering God can help.” I’ve never forgotten the line (which I later learned was Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s), and I’ve been thinking about it pretty much nonstop since the coronavirus pandemic began. Only a suffering God can help...

And after all that has happened it is now Jesus who gives the kiss, and this time it is not the kiss of death.

    by Leo Murray, SJ
    A number of years ago I had the privilege of celebrating the Holy Week Liturgies in a parish that was largely made up of West Indian people – people from the islands of the Caribbean. On Good Friday the church was packed, filled to overflowing with everyone dressed up in their finest and the atmosphere was one of joy. On Easter Sunday, by contrast, there was not the large crowd that I expected. I asked an elderly parishioner why the difference. I said I would have expected the crowds on Easter Sunday dressed in their finest and rejoicing. He told me that on the island that he came from in the Caribbean he experienced two types of Christianity. There was the “Servants, obey your masters,” type; and there was the kind represented by the crowded churches on Good Friday, full of people, especially men who never darkened the church doors even on Christmas and Easter, and they made a point of being there when they celebrated the day Jesus died? Why? The Jesus of the cross, he said, victim of human power, totally identifying himself with people in their suffering, made perfect sense to them. This was his grandparents’ religion. This was his parents’ religion And for himself he said, the moment that rang truest was when he heard that awful cry of Jesus, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” He knew what it meant to be forsaken by a father. His own father had abandoned his family when he was eight years old and left his mother with four children to raise. They lived in dire poverty and were rarely sure where their next meal was coming from. His mother must have been an extraordinary person. She took the children to church on Good Friday and told them, “Listen now, Jesus felt abandoned by his Father, too. He knows what we are suffering.” And as that elderly man told me this there were tears in his eyes and he said, “That’s why we come here on Good Friday in our finest clothes and we come rejoicing.”...
