Zechariah 9:9-10
"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion, shout for joy, O daughter of Jerusalem: BEHOLD THY KING will come to thee, the just and saviour: he is poor, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass."
"And I will destroy the chariot out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the bow for war shall be broken: and he shall speak peace to the Gentiles, and his power shall be from sea to sea, and from the rivers even to the end of the earth."
My Meditation:
Every year as we live thought the life, hope and expectations of the Church though the celebrations in the Liturgical calendar, we come again to this most important and solemn occasion of our faith. The sacred passion of our Lord. Through out the week we shall relived in a very special way the passion of Christ. Our Lord has promised graces for people who will meditate on His passion.
The special thing that comes to my mind this week are the secular mass media's attack on the Holy Father. The world will never indeed love our Lord. The Jewish Leaders of Christ's time crucified Him, and today in the same manner they are trying to crucify our Holy Father. I admire so much the patience by which our Holy Father in dealing with these attacks. I am saddened by the silence of the people who should have been defending our Church.
Let us remember our Church is a most special way this lenten season and may our sufferings and sacrifices be offered for this intention.
