Good Friday 2022: History, Significance and Important Facts - News18


GOOD FRIDAY: CELEBRATION OF THE LORD’S PASSION

 

Is 52: 13 — 53: 12; Ps 31: 2, 6, 12-13, 15-17, 25;
Heb 4: 14-16; 5: 7-9; Jn 18: 1 — 19: 42


 

TETELESTAI: IT IS FINISHED

 

Today the church celebrates the Lord’s Passion, known as Good Friday. On this day, we are reminded of the Supreme Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our Salvation. To redeem humanity he chose to become Man, suffered and died; thereby setting humanity free from the bondage of sin and death by shedding his blood. With his action, he redeemed humanity and triumphed over sin and death.

 

As Jesus approached death, Mt 27:34 tells us, “They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall. John 19:30 tells us that “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the spirit.” “It is finished” is a translation of the Greek word tetelestai means to end; to bring to completion; to bring to a conclusion; to complete; to accomplish; to fulfill; or to finish. One scholar notes that anything that has reached telos has arrived at completion, maturity, or perfection. There were many nuances to this word, but four of them have great significance in this defining moment of Christ’s sacrifice. Here are four specific applications of the last words of Jesus on the cross.

 

  1. This was Jesus’ exclamation that He had finished the work the Father had sent Him to do. The work having been fully completed, Jesus bowed His head and died. One writer has noted that when a servant was sent on a mission and then later returned to his master, he would say, “Telelestai,” meaning, “I have done exactly what you requested” or “The mission is now accomplished.” At that moment when Jesus cried out, he was exclaiming to the entire universe that He had faithfully fulfilled the Father’s will and that the mission was now accomplished.

 

  1. The word tetelestai was the equivalent of the Hebrew word spoken by the high priest when he presented a sacrificial lamb without spot or blemish. Annually, the high priest entered the Holy of Holies, where he poured the blood of that sacrificial spotless lamb on the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant. The moment that blood touched the mercy seat, atonement was made for the people’s sins for one more year. But when Jesus hung on the Cross, He was both Lamb and High Priest. In that holy moment as High Priest, Jesus offered His own blood for the permanent removal of sin. Jesus entered into the Holy Place and offered His own blood – a sacrifice so complete that God never again required the blood of lambs for forgiveness.

 

  1. In a secular sense, the word tetelestai was used in the business world to signify the full payment of a debt. When a debt had been fully paid off, the parchment on which the debt was recorded was stamped with tetelestai, which meant the debt had been paid in full. This means that once a person calls Jesus the Lord of His life and personally accepts His sacrifice, no debt of sin exists for that person any longer. The debt is wiped out because Jesus paid the price for sin that no sinner could ever pay. His blood utterly and completely cleansed us forever.

 

  1. In classical Greek times, the word tetelestai depicted a turning point when one period ended and another new period began. When Jesus exclaimed, “It is finished!” it was indeed a turning point in the entire history of mankind, for at that moment the Old Testament came to an end – finished and closed – and the New Testament began. Never forget that because Jesus was willing to offer His own blood for the full payment of our sinful debt, we are forgiven and utterly debt-free.

 

Jesus endured excruciating painful torture, humiliation, and shame on Calvary’s Cross. Death by crucifixion was considered so scandalous that it forever marked how the one who died in that manner was remembered. Meditate on the kind of death Jesus died to purchase your freedom from the power of sin. If sin requires that kind of penalty, why would you allow it to linger in any area of your life? As the ground was splattered with Jesus’ sinless, holy blood, the entire universe witnessed His faithful fulfillment of the Father’s will. Jesus won the greatest victory in the history of the human race.

Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday) 2024 - Quotes & Wishes


HOLY THURSDAY: MASS OF THE LORD’S SUPPER

 

Ex 12: 1-8, 11-14;                  Ps 116: 12-13, 15-18;             Jn 13: 1-15


  

EUCHARIST: A SYMBOL OF GOD’S LOVE

 

The word “Maundy” comes from the Latin word “mandatum,” which means “commandment.” This day is named after Jesus’ commandment to his disciples to love one another. The mysteries that we commemorate on Holy Thursday are:

(1) The Institution of the Eucharist,
(2) The Institution of the Priesthood and
(3) Christ’s Command to love one another as He loved us.

 

These three mysteries are inter-related and the celebration of one is incomplete without the celebration of the others. The celebration of these mysteries is the celebration of God’s love for us manifested through the gifts that He bestows.

 

The Eucharist or the Holy Mass is the food that God generously gives us to nourish us on our spiritual journey. Therefore, the Church describes the Eucharist as “The source and summit of the Christian Life.” The institution of the Holy Eucharist by Christ on Maundy Thursday equally marks the institution of the ministerial priesthood. The priesthood is both a gift and a mystery. Gifts are gratuitous offers made to one who is free to either accept or reject them. By describing the priesthood as a gift and a mystery we imply that God is the one who calls whosoever He wants to make available to His people grace upon grace through the celebration of the sacraments. This mystical nature of the priesthood comes to its fullness at the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday and at every Mass at the consecration of bread and wine, which is transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ.

 

In this sacrament, we experience the unfathomable love that God has for humanity for we receive the greatest gift that God can ever give us: The gift of Himself. This giving of Himself for us reminds us that each time we celebrate the Eucharist we are celebrating the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. Just as Jesus gave Himself for us and still does so today through the Eucharist, we are invited to reciprocate His love by giving ourselves totally to Him in love. The genuineness of our love for Jesus is proved only when we keep His commandments. As He says, “Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me.” (Jn 14:21) What is this commandment? “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” (Jn 15:12) Maundy Thursday commemorates this very commandment. So that, the mandate that Jesus gave us to love one another after His example, should not become abstract, He demonstrated through word and deed the real nature of love. On Maudy Thursday, Jesus manifests this by washing the feet of the disciples. And after washing the feet of His disciples to convey this very message, He explicitly says, “I have given you a model to follow so that as I have done for you, you should also do for one another.” (Jn 13:15)

 

It is proved by psychology that children learn best through imitation. By seeing, hearing, and repeating the actions of their elders especially those dear to them, children develop behavioural patterns that remain with them all through life. They assimilate and copy even things untaught. Jesus knew this, and therefore at the last supper, He really stooped low and washed the feet of His disciples giving them a practical lesson on true love. This act of Jesus, done even as He approached the end of His life, made a deep and lasting impression on the disciples. He gave them an example to follow that they may imitate in their own person what He did and thus teach others to do the same, who would learn to imitate them just as they learnt to imitate Jesus.

 

If you aspire to be a good parent and if you want your children to grow up with good values, be a good Christian yourself. Your children will imitate what they see you doing and saying. Unless you put into practice what you preach, no matter how much you correct them or shout at them, you will exercise little influence over their behaviour. Don’t be afraid to stoop low and wash their feet, for tomorrow, when you are no longer able, they will do the same for you. As Jesus sets us an example through his actions, we ought to live an exemplary life that we may be models worth imitating.

 


Response: The cup of blessing is a participation in the blood of Christ.

The Plot to Kill Jesus - Matthew 26:1-5, 14-16 - Reading Acts


WEDNESDAY, HOLY WEEK

 

Is 50: 4-9;                   Ps 69: 8-10, 21-22, 31, 33-34;                       Mt 26: 14-25


 

THE MINDSET OF A SINCERE DISCIPLE

 

Religion is not ideology. It goes beyond the logic of philosophy and the hypothesis of science. As we are ushered into the great mystery of the Lord’s unconditional love, painful passion and terrible death, Isaiah recommends to us a wonderful vehicle to traverse: it is the attitude of simple openness of a sincere disciple. Such a disciple has a receptive mind. He does not get lost in dry analysis of the so called problem of pain and innocent suffering. He commits everything to his memory perhaps not understanding but wondering, as Mary did. He even tastes the bitter humiliation and suffering without resistance but inner moral strength. That attitude takes away the sting out of the offences by refusing to be offended as he is relying on the inner hope that he will be vindicated because of his rock like faith of the immediacy of his master.

 

On the contrary a sad story of betrayal by a trusted friend, a disciple is unfolded in the Gospel narrative. Judas belonged to the core group of the disciples of Jesus. He was the most intelligent administrator of the community. He wielded lots of power within the group. But his mind gradually turned, he enjoyed being a businessman rather than being a disciple of Jesus. Love for money is the root of all evil. Alas, day by day he was losing that simple attitude of a disciple; he was losing the faith in Jesus as the Messiah, the suffering servant. This was totally alien to Jesus’ vision of revealing the mercy of God by willingly undergoing the worst of human suffering. But Judas wanted nothing to do with suffering and pain. Jesus loved most when he was betrayed by the one trusted and abandoned by his disciples. That is where God’s unconditional love is revealed. It is the miracle of human redemption. Selfish human beings can love the one who betrayed; and forgive those who nailed him on the cross. Jesus requires us to follow him closely as his simple disciples.

 


Response: In your great mercy, answer me, O Lord, for a time of your favour.

TUESDAY, HOLY WEEK

 

Is 49: 1-6;                   Ps 71: 1-6, 15, 17;                  Jn 13: 21-33, 36-38


 

JESUS WAS DEEPLY TROUBLED

Oh, how bitter and undigested pain it is when my own heart betrays me? When an enemy plays a role of betrayal, we know it is his proper role as an enemy, and we will have an immediate plan B to avoid their insidious ambush. But the one who was always a strength, hope and trust, the one who has seen all our pain and happiness, betrays us then we lose everything, we become completely lifeless and lost in the world. When we choose a friend or companion, we choose them very carefully because the one whom we choose as a true friend must have the quality of trust and kindness.

Jesus after praying to His Father chooses his Apostles, including Judas, about whom he knew very well. When we know someone is not trustworthy we keep such a person away from our shadow but Jesus chooses to feed a poisonous snake along with him. Jesus was very carefully focused on the victory and glory of His Father in heaven, he had surrendered his will to his father, whatever he did, he did it to please his father, to fulfil His will on earth. These days we are walking along with Jesus with His Cross. When we read about the betrayal of Jesus by Judas, what is my judgment on those who have betrayed me? Jesus is teaching me how to accept the betrayal. In our prayer we say “Thy will be done” but we do not surrender ourselves to become one with the will of God.

God loves us, and he protects us, but when we willingly do not accept His will in our lives, we will face something unexpected. When we realize the will of God in our life, we begin to walk along with Jesus in our spiritual life. We may not be Judas but we are like Peter, to protect ourselves we have forsaken the Lord. Like every year we have the season of Lent, but this Lent did it bring any changes in our lives? or are we still practising for 40 days of “sacrifice” for God to fulfil my desire?

 


Response: My mouth will tell of your salvation, Lord.

Le Père Angelo médite l'évangile du lundi saint (Jn 12, 1-11) - Paroisse  Saint-Vincent de Lérins

MONDAY, HOLY WEEK

 

Is 42: 1-7;                   Ps 27: 1-3, 13-14;                   Jn 12: 1-11


 

TRUE DISCIPLESHIP: A SELF-DONATION IN LOVE

 

The Holy Week presents to us the deepest emotional expression of our Christian Faith. In this week, although, the entire focus was supposed to be on Christ, his suffering, death and resurrection, incidentally, the Gospel of today presents to us, the human reciprocation of love as the expression of our total self-donation to God in the person of Christ Jesus. After the solemn entry into Jerusalem, Jesus is seen in the house of Lazarus, a family closest to the heart of Jesus. It is at this juncture that Mary performs a highly revelatory act. She takes a costly perfume, anoints the feet of Jesus, and wipes them with her hair. An act that reveals a foretaste into the suffering and death of Jesus on one hand but also manifests an intense affection of self-donation of a beloved disciple in the totality of her love for the Saviour, for what she received of God’s self-giving love to Humanity. Thus, the Gospel reminds us that the salvation received as a gift from God has its fulness achieved only in and through the self-appropriation of it through constant self-giving of oneself to God in love.

However, this entire revelatory act of love is lost for people of self-interest, both for Judas and the Pharisees and Scribes who had their own agenda to realize. Does it matter a lot how one considers oneself in life: as a disciple of Jesus who is totally tuned to His love and therefore walks in the light of revelation by self-donation of oneself in love? If yes then one will be guided and nourished by God himself as the first reading explains. He will be the delight of the Lord because he will walk by His spirit. The Lord will strengthen him, nourish and protect him. As for the people with vested interests, they would see their downfall. Let us ask the Lord to give us the grace to be His true disciples so that by self-donating ourselves in Love we can be liberated and experience the fullness of revelation promised to us by the risen Saviour.


Response: The Lord is my light and my salvation.

What Is Palm Sunday and Why Does It Matter to Latter-day Saints?

SUNDAY, HOLY WEEK

 

Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion

 

Mk 11: 1-10 or Jn 12: 12-16;

Is 50: 4-7; Ps 22: 8-9, 17-20, 23-24; Phil 2: 6-11; Mk 14: 1 — 15: 47


 

VICTORY OF JESUS, THE KING

Jesus, the King: With the holy week, the final week of Jesus’ life on earth, we focus on Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. If we combine all the four gospel accounts, more than one- third of the chapters are dedicated to the last week of Jesus’ life on earth. With Palm Sunday, the first day of the Holy Week, the Old Testament prophecies begin to unfold in history. Even in the Old Testament, donkeys were associated with royalty and wealth (Jdg 10:4;12:14). The ability to travel around on donkeys was a sign of wealth and authority. Before David’s death, his son Solomon rode his donkey to be anointed by the priests and the prophet before the people (1 Kgs 1:33-44).

The coming of the Kingdom: Kingdom is generally understood as empire, rule or rein. It presupposes the power and authority of a powerful king. Horses and chariots were instruments of war. Not much is expected of an ass in the battle. The donkey was an appropriate mount for the one who came on a mission of peace. So, entering Jerusalem by donkey would never have been done by a powerful ruler desiring to conquer an enemy. However, Jesus’ entry marks a new era.

Hope and Expectation: At the time of Jesus, Jews were expecting a political Messiah, and their minds were set on earthly glory and worldly greatness. Most of the Jews of Jerusalem city would not see the Messiah’s visit as one offering salvation. So, there was a mixed reaction to Jesus’ procession toward Jerusalem. Most in the crowds seemed to have praised the Messiah with manifold adulation because they saw him work miracles. The people shouted “Hosanna” because they desired deliverance from the hardships of life and from oppressive Roman rule.

Excitement to Disappointment: There was a crowd of followers who remained loyal to Jesus. But there was an explosion of public sentiment alive with the expectation that Jesus was the Messiah for whom they had longed for centuries. The excitement of the crowd, like the disciples, who constantly thought Jesus’ kingdom was going to be political set him up as the Davidic King. As they saw that Jesus was not the warrior king they had expected, enthusiasm waned. As long as Jesus could make their lives better, they offered “Hosanna!” But as soon as they realized Jesus would not provide what they wanted, it was either silence or “Crucify Him!”

Fulfillment of the Prophecy: The roots of Palm Sunday date back to the 4th century in Jerusalem commemorating the historical event of Jesus riding on a donkey into the city, a reminder of Jesus’ message of peace and the fulfillment of a prophecy from Zechariah (9:9). Certainly Zechariah’s emphasis upon the King’s selection of a donkey for his journey is about the nature of the King’s conquests and rule going against the norm of kings riding in chariots or on the back of stallions. The Messiah would not seek to subjugate using military force and his achievements are not through bloody conquests rather, he is the “Prince of Peace” (Is 9:6). Therefore Palm Sunday or The Passion Sunday can be a very celebratory worship service involving singing praise songs while holding palm branches of various sizes.

Victory of Jesus, the King: The Kingdom of God promised by Jesus was different. He came to deliver us on a much deeper level – from the power of sin and death. At the triumphal entry, the people chanted: “Hosanna” (‘save now’), and Jesus fulfilled his Heavenly Father’s will and died on the cross to save us from sin and condemnation. So, Jesus did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill the law and the prophet’s message. From this procession, we see Jesus go again to Jerusalem the next day to cleanse the temple, and himself become the new temple where we can worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. So, we decorate the crucifix with victorious symbols and banners on the cross and even palm branches are employed as a token of victory. But the love of Jesus for humanity expressed in divine mercy, as Jesus prays to his Father to forgive us, a proof that the Love of God is more powerful than the power of the sinful world.

The Faithfulness of God (2) :: YouVersion Event

SATURDAY, FIFTH WEEK OF LENT

 

Ez 37: 21-28;              Jer 31: 10-13;                         Jn 11: 45-56


 

THE ENDURING FAITHFULNESS OF GOD

Today’s first reading offers a profound reflection on the enduring faithfulness of God’s promises and His unwavering commitment to His people, Israel. This passage carries with it a message of hope, restoration, and the ultimate fulfilment of divine plans. At the heart of this passage is the idea of unity and reconciliation. The imagery of God bringing together the divided tribes of Israel into one nation is a powerful symbol of God’s desire for reconciliation and unity among His people. It reminds us that, no matter how divided or scattered we may become, God has the power and the will to reunite us.

The promise of one king signifies the ultimate authority and guidance that God provides. We can find true leadership and direction when we submit to God’s sovereignty. Just as God promised to provide one shepherd for the reunited Israel, we can trust that God will guide and protect us if we allow Him to be the leader of our lives. The people of Israel are called to follow God’s commands and be faithful in their relationship with Him. This underscores the notion that God’s covenant is not merely about His blessings but also about our responsibility to live according to His principles.

God’s faithfulness endures throughout generations, and His love and mercy are everlasting. This is a reassuring reminder that God’s commitment to us is unwavering, and His promises can be trusted. The presence of God’s sanctuary among His people symbolizes His dwelling with them. It’s a powerful reminder that God desires an intimate relationship with us. Just as God sought to dwell among the Israelites, He seeks to dwell in our hearts today. This presence is a source of strength, comfort, and assurance that we are not alone in our journey. Through His restoration of Israel, God illustrates His desire to be known and glorified throughout the world, and that His plans extend beyond our individual lives.


Response: The Lord will keep us, as a shepherd keeps his flock.

How to Be Confident: 7 Confidence-Boosting Truths and Tips

FRIDAY, FIFTH WEEK OF LENT

 

Jer 20: 10-13;                         Ps 18: 2-7;                  Jn 10: 31-42


 

CONFIDENCE IN GOD

In ordinary situations of our life, it may be quite easy for us to live a life putting our confidence in God. But, in extraordinary situations, wherein we have to face persecution, trials and opposition, it is very difficult to face such challenges. The readings of today teach us how to face such situations. Prophet Jeremiah was chosen by God to communicate God’s word to the people of Israel. He was faithful to God and to the mission he was entrusted with. But, he had to face trials and persecutions. People plotted to kill him. He could hear terror from all sides. Amid suffering and persecution, he trusted in God. His enemies as well as friends waited for his downfall. In these situations, he showed extraordinary confidence in God. He was certain that God who called him would not abandon him, but rather to protect him from every dangerous situation. His firm confidence in God arises from his deep faith in God.

In the Gospel, we find Jesus’ confidence in God the Father amidst persecution. The Jews tried to take up stones and arrest Him. They questioned him and argued with him. But this did not deter Jesus from making known God’s ways to the people and to those who opposed Him. He takes on them directly and sternly. He was convinced that He was doing the work of the Father, and to accomplish the Father’s will He was ready even to undergo persecution, suffering and death. Jesus’ confidence springs up from His personal relationship with the Father and His firm confidence in Him.

The disciples of Jesus will have to go through certain moments of persecution, trials and suffering. When we live faithfully to God’s Word and try to do His will in our daily lives, we will be challenged with many unsavoury moments. Only our personal relationship with God in deep faith will help us to put our confidence in God in every situation, especially, when we go through suffering and persecution. [

How To Deepen Your Relationship With God - LayCistercians.com


THURSDAY, FIFTH WEEK OF LENT

 

Gn 17: 3-9;                 Ps 105: 4-9;                Jn 8: 51-59


  

DEEPENING OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

 

Today’s liturgy helps us to deepen our faith in our relationship with God. In the first reading, we are reminded of the covenant that God made with Abraham, promising to make him the father of many nations. This covenant was a sign of God’s love and commitment to His people. Abraham would have been more joyful to see the day of the Lord, to see Christ, than God’s promise of a child to him. Therefore, we too, are called to enter into a covenantal relationship with God through our faith in Jesus Christ. By following God’s will and living a life of love, we become part of God’s family and are heirs to His promises.

 

The gospel speaks about the importance of faith and belief in Jesus as the Son of God. Jesus teaches that those who keep His word will never see death, and this requires faith in His teachings and trust in His promises. God promises to be with Abraham and his descendants forever (Gen 17:3-9). Jesus teaches that knowing him is the key to knowing God and having eternal life (Jn 8:51-59). We are called to believe in Jesus and His teachings, to follow His example. Pope Benedict XVI encouraged us to seek the source of our authentic happiness in God and to avoid practicing false religiosity.

 

Our faith should not be based on seeking our own desires and projects, but rather on conforming to the divine will. We are called to deepen our relationship with God through prayer, sacraments, and living a life of faith. We are called to trust in God’s promises and to believe in Jesus as our Saviour. Just as Abraham trusted in God’s promises, we too are called to put our faith in God and to live a life of obedience and love. In conclusion, let us to contemplate the covenant between God and us and to renew our commitment with Him. We are to strive to be blameless and live a life of faith, trust, and obedience. May we open our hearts to God’s grace and experience His mercy as we journey towards Easter.

 


Response: The Lord remembers his covenant forever.

The Gospel of the day: 6th April – Archdiocese of Malta


WEDNESDAY, FIFTH WEEK OF LENT

 

Dn 3: 14-20, 91-92, 95;                      Dn 3: 52-56;               Jn 8: 31-42


 

FAITH IN GOD WILL SET US FREE

 

In the Book of Daniel, we come across a story of three young Israelites Hananiah, Azariah, and Mishael who were filled with the love of God, trust in God and who refused to worship the golden idol of Nebuchadnezzar. They were condemned to be burnt in a fiery furnace since they worshipped the only true God and refused to worship an idol made by human hands. God sent an angel to drive the flames away from them, and they were miraculously preserved from the flames. This incident is evidence to their faithfulness to the covenant God made with Israel and their willingness to remain faithful even at the cost of their lives.

 

In today’s Gospel, Jesus speaks to the Jews who believed in Him, reminding them that if they persevere in His word, they will truly be His disciples and will know the truth that makes them free. He highlights the significance of living His Gospel teachings as well as the freedom that comes from knowing and obeying Him. Jesus reveals Himself to the people as the Son of God, sent by the Father, and encourages them to believe in Him and His message.

 

Both the readings remind us of the importance of being faithful to God’s promise, even in the face of difficulty, sickness, loss, hardship and all that we undergo. The three young Israelites showed unwavering trust in God, and their deliverance from the fiery furnace is a testament to His faithfulness. Similarly, Jesus calls us to abide in His teachings and promises that knowing the truth will set us free. The theme of faithfulness to God’s word and the freedom that comes from embracing His truth may be seen throughout the Old and New Testaments. Let us examine our own faithfulness to God and His teachings and seek the freedom that stems from knowing and obeying Him. Let us accept the opportunity to experience true freedom through the relationship we have with Him.

 


Response: You are to be praised and highly exalted forever!
