“Morning after morning...”

We are blessed to hear many words of Scripture at Mass today, from the celebration of our Lord’s entrance into Jerusalem to the long reading of the Passion.

These words in today’s first reading (Isaiah 50:4-7) are not the most important, but they are words that should be in our hearts as we hear all the others and as we begin this celebration of Holy Week:

Morning after morning
he opens my ear that I may hear...

On this day and on every morning, evening, and every waking hour may our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ open our ears that we may hear more fully, clearly, and efficaciously His holy word.
