*For the complete reading please refer to your Bible.

The Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread were to take place in two days’ time. So the chief priests and the scribes were seeking a way to arrest him by treachery and put him to death...

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went off to the chief priests to hand him over to them...

Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last. The veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. When the centurion who stood facing him saw how he breathed his last he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”...

The story of Christ’s passion and death is told by the four evangelists. Although Mark is the shortest of the Gospels the narrative of the Passion takes up nearly one-fifth of his Gospel. For centuries, before the Second Vatican Council, less than 5% of the Gospel of Mark was proclaimed. One of the reasons was that the disciples were not shown in a good light in this Gospel, and their behavior at the time of the arrest and suffering of Jesus was disturbing. In the end Peter denied Jesus, Judas betrayed him, and Peter, James and John fell sleep on him during his agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. In Mark’s Gospel the cross is seen as Jesus’ way to glory. Thus the passion narrative is the climax of Jesus’ ministry. When He addressed God as Abba, Father (14:36), He used an Aramaic term which had not been used by earlier or contemporary Jewish sources to address God with this filial intimacy.

Brief commentary

Today’s reading offers three significant messages: • The woman’s act of anointing is the anticipation of

Jesus’ burial. • The Passover meal commemorates the liberation of

the Jews from slavery in Egypt. Just like they passed-over from slavery into freedom, Jesus will pass-over from death to life. The meal dramatized His self-offering as the Paschal Lamb who will establish the new covenant.

• It was a pagan centurion who was able to see the living Son of God most clearly in His humble and loving death.

For our shared or personal reflection: After a brief pause for silent reflection share your answers, ideas or feelings: 1. The reading of the Passion can be a powerful experience

if we allow it to touch us. Take a moment today to really enter into this journey with Jesus. Identify who you relate to in this story and why. What role do you play in this drama of love?

2. On Palm Sunday, Christ is proclaimed King of Israel. A few days later, He is condemned to death by the same crowd. Nevertheless, Jesus ends His life forgiving all who have hurt Him. How am I called to grow in this area?

Suggested readings: Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraphs 559-560, 570-575, 597, 598, 610-612.

Christ Jesus humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death,

even death on a cross. — Philippians 2:8

Gospel reading ( Mark 14:1—15:47*)

*Para ver la lectura completa use su Biblia o el misilito dominical

Conspiración contra Jesús † Una mujer unge a Jesús † La Última Cena

† Jesús anuncia la negación de Pedro † La agonía en Getsemaní † Toman

preso a Jesús † Pedro niega a Jesús † Jesús ante Pilato † Crucifican a

Jesús † Jesús muere en la cruz † Jesús es sepultado †

Todos los evangelistas narran la Pasión de Jesús con un estilo propio. En Marcos, el secreto Mesiánico* que fue guardado durante la vida pública de Jesús, se revela ahora a los discípulos en la Última Cena, públicamente ante el Sanedrín, y es finalmente reconocido al pie de la cruz por el centurión, un pagano: “Verdaderamente, este hombre era Hijo de Dios”. Aunque el Evangelio según San Marcos es el más corto de los cuatro, el relato de la Pasión ocupa una quinta parte del libro.

Por siglos, antes del Concilio Vaticano II, la Iglesia sólo proclamaba un 5% de este evangelio. Una de las razones era que Marcos es bien crítico de los discípulos y sus relatos muestran que aun al final le fallaron al Señor. Pedro lo negó, Judas lo traicionó, y Pedro, Juan y Santiago se quedaron dormidos durante la agonía en el Huerto de los Olivos. Para Marcos la cruz es el camino de Jesús a la gloria. Por lo tanto, el relato de la Pasión es el clímax de su vida y ministerio.

*La insistencia de Jesús de que no dijeran a nadie que él era el Mesías.

La lectura de hoy nos presenta tres ideas importantes:

• La mujer que unge a Jesús ha anticipado la unción de su cuerpo en la sepultura.

• La Cena Pascual conmemora la liberación de los judíos de la esclavitud en Egipto. En esta cena Jesús se presenta como liberador mesiánico y establece la nueva alianza.

• El centurión da el primer testimonio de la salvación ofrecida por Jesús.

Para la reflexión personal o comunitaria: Después de una pausa breve para reflexionar en silencio, comparta con otros sus ideas o sentimientos. 1. La lectura de la Pasión puede ser una experiencia

poderosa si nos abrimos a ella. Sigue a Jesús en su dolor. Trata de identificarte con algún personaje de este relato y compártelo con tu grupo. ¿Qué papel juegas en este drama de amor?

2. El Domingo de Ramos el populacho proclama que Jesús es Rey. Unos días después, la misma gente grita que lo crucifiquen. Sin embargo, Jesús concluye su misión perdonando a todos los que le han herido. ¡Qué gran ejemplo! ¿Cómo estoy llamado a crecer en este aspecto?
