Lent | Liturgy of the Passion (Year B)
Isaiah 50:4-9a (Psalm 31:9-16); Philippians 2:5-11; Mark 14:1-15:47
In the hours before the Passion, the Jesus who was hidden becomes revealed.
Jesus isn’t pitting himself against poor people. He’s one of them.
When arguments fail us, we turn to words of wonder.
