Reflection: Today we hear Christ
sharing His fate with the disciples. He
shares the details of His impending death.
Reflect on what it must have been like to be one of those
disciples. Imagine hearing your Lord,
your teacher, the man you gave up all that you had to follow, proclaim to you
that He will die soon. Imagine knowing
the man who you know speaks great truths is about to be crucified. Reflect on what it must have been like to be
Christ, to know the fate that lie before you, yet your faith in the
resurrection allows you to surrender yourself to the Father’s will. Imagine the great faith and the great trust
of them all.
Reflection
for younger saints: Jesus
knew He must die for our sins. Jesus
also told His disciples that He must die.
Big
Picture: Imagine what
it was like to be there…

Older saints: Did you take time to reflect on what it would have been like to be in the disciples place or Christ’s place? How would you have handled those situations? Would your faith have been strong enough to trust God?
