Holy Monday – C
May the Lord’s peace and blessings be upon you all my dear brothers and sisters. Today on Holy Monday, we reflect on two pivotal moments in the narrative of Jesus’ journey towards the cross: the cleansing of the temple (which in fact chronologically occurred on Monday of Holy Week) and the second anointing of Jesus by Mary Magdalene (which happens, according to Scripture, on Wednesday of Holy Week) which we find in today’s readings. Both events—though seemingly distinct—reveal profound truths about Jesus and our calling as his followers and so we shall joyfully reflect on how they come together to offer us a message of hope and renewal.
