Apr 03 – Homily – Fr Joachim: Did the Jews Crucify Jesus?

Homily #150403n ( 09min) Play - Today we ponder the mysteries of Our Lord's Passion, and Father tells us that not to keep them at arms length, but to consider that is was not just Judas that betrayed Jesus, but it was also me and you, each individually, and each time we sin.  Our Lord saw all these "kisses" and if we consider how overwhelming this must have been, we are just starting to form an idea of the sufferings of Our Lord. Did the Jews crucify Jesus? No, I did. However, this suffering is not a disgrace for Jesus, but His glory. Let us look at our sins, and then look at His mercy and love. Let us in particular go to meet Jesus in the sacrament of Penance - Confession - and transform our shame into joy and peace.
Ave Maria!
