Passion Sunday 2020
The last two weeks of Lent are the most sacred and have a special name, Passiontide. In today’s Gospel, Our Lord proclaimed His Divinity with the result that He had to hide from those who wanted to stone Him. The Church incorporates this into Passiontide by hiding Christ and all the reminders of Him by veiling the Crucifix and statues. This year it is more dramatic because many are unable to even come to the chapel. Given these circumstances we should unite more than ever with the texts of this Mass and cry out for deliverance. We should practice prayer, especially the Rosary, and all the exercises of the spiritual life with renewed purpose so as to strengthen ourselves, with God’s grace, during this present crisis and for the future.
