Meditation by Fr. Cristian Laslo In today’s Gospel Jesus is ready to enter in Jerusalem as the true Son of Man, like the old kings of Israel. His disciples are preparing the colt on which no one has ever sat, the crowds are spreading their garments on the road, and leafy branches, crying out loud “Hosanna!...” The King is bringing the new life to the mankind. A very ridiculous trend in every generation is to be concerned about the end of the world, about the apocalypse. If not, we are investing time in all kind of projects or hobbies, neglecting more and more the most important project which is our soul. And most of us have forgot that we have a soul, the living part of our existence, the only part that is everlasting and will live after our bones will be dried out and our memory long forgotten. This week's Gospel wants to remind us about the true meaning of our life, describing us a very human face of our Savior. In chapter 11 from Mark, we meet Jesus as he’s approaching to Jerusalem for the last time. He is surrounded by his disciples and a large crowd, and his entrance into the town reminds of the second book of the Kings: “every man… took his garment and put it under him and acclaimed…” (2 Kings 9, 13). As a man, and after many years surrounded by his disciples and the needy crowds, Jesus understood his mission, his call, his duty to the Father in Heaven. He was sent to become the Lamb of God, the one who takes upon himself the sins of the world, the one who will restore the bounds between the mankind and God. He had no time to think upon apocalypse, upon ending of all ages and generations… He had a different mission. His mission was to spread the eternal life to his creature, to call them out of this life’s mirage and open their eyes, our eyes to the true meaning of our existence. His mission was to eradicate the work of the evil, the sins out of our souls and bodies. St. John in his first letter warns that so far “many antichrists have come” (I John 2, 18) and “he who commits sins is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning.” This warning is for us today as it was for our forefathers: what kind of work are we doing into this world? How do we live our lives and who is guiding us? Are we the true followers of Jesus or have we lost our path by sins? Mark 14, 10-42 Music: Lost Frontier by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)
