Where shall we prepare?

In today’s Gospel (Matthew 26:14-25), the disciples ask our Lord,

“Where do you want us to prepare
for you to eat the Passover?”


It is a good reminder for us to prepare in a new and special way for the celebration of the suffering, death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the liturgies of the Triduum.

It would be good, if we have not planned to do so already, to plan attending the liturgies of the Triduum, especially at a parish that has a particularly serious and prayerful approach to liturgy. Attending these liturgies at the diocesan cathedral is often an excellent option.

Most importantly, of course, we need to prepare spiritually an “upper room” in our hearts and souls in which we can welcome the grace of our crucified and risen Lord.
