With today's liturgy we enter into Holy Week. This blessed week gives us the special opportunity to walk with Jesus the Way of the Cross, and to follow him in prayer through death to the Resurrection. As we do this, however, we ought to remember two things: First, we should not simply treat the events of Christ's Passion, death and Resurrection as "things of the past". In the liturgy these events -- which definitely occurred within time -- are made present to us TODAY. Secondly, we should not think of ourselves as "spectators" this week, as though we were simply watching Jesus do what he did for our salvation. We should rather see ourselves in the person of Christ. How can I be more obedient, humble, merciful, generous, and loving as Jesus?
