SATURDAY, APRIL 09, 2022 Scripture
Reading: Luke 22:1–13
Additional Scriptures: Leviticus
23:1–8; Psalm 31:9–16
Each morning crowds
would gather in the temple to hear Jesus teach. They would stay throughout the
day. Jesus would depart to the Mount of Olives for the night. But early each
morning the crowds would gather at the temple again just to hear Jesus teach. A
movement was starting. A kingdom not of this world was coming. Jesus had wisdom
unlike any of the chief priests and scribes. And people were starting to
follow. A movement was growing. People were flocking just to hear him and that
meant that the chief priests and scribes were losing their power so they plotted
against him. The movement continues as you listen to Jesus who has the words of
life. May his words spring you into action to live for him who has redeemed you.
O Lord, in Your goodness
You bestow abundant graces on Your elect: Look with favor, we entreat You, upon
those who in these Lenten days are being prepared for You Holy Baptism, and
grant them the help of Your protection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who
lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen [2]
