Put Yourself in the Passion Narrative

Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion 

Gospel: Mk 14:1—15:47

Friends, we have the great privilege on Palm Sunday of reading from one of the Passion narratives, and this year, we read from the Gospel of Mark—the very first one written. But what I want to do today is something a little bit different: instead of putting the focus on Jesus, I want to focus on a series of people around him as they react in different ways to to the events of the Passion, putting ourselves in the scene. Who do we identify with in this story as Jesus comes toward his death?
