FIRST READING A reading from the prophet Isaiah

42:1-7

He does not cry out or shout aloud.

Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom my soul delights. I have endowed him with my spirit that he may bring true justice to the nations. He does not cry out or shout aloud, or make his voice heard in the streets. He does not break the crushed reed, nor quench the wavering flame. Faithfully he brings true justice; he will neither waver, nor be crushed until true justice is established on earth, for the islands are awaiting his law.

GOSPEL A reading from the holy Gospel according to John

12:1-11

Leave her alone; she had to keep this scent for the day of my burial.

Six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead. They gave a dinner for him there; Martha waited on them and Lazarus was among those at table. Mary brought in a pound of very costly ointment, pure nard, and with it anointed the feet of Jesus, wiping them with her hair; the house was full of the scent of the ointment. Then Judas Iscariot – one of his disciples, the man who was to betray him – said, ‘Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor?’ He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he was in charge of the common fund and used to help himself to the contributions. So Jesus said, ‘Leave her alone; she had to keep this scent for the day of my burial. You have the poor with you always, you will not always have me.’ Meanwhile a large number of Jews heard that he was there and came not only on account of Jesus but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead. Then the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus as well, since it was on his account that many of the Jews were leaving them and believing in Jesus. The Gospel of the Lord. Prayer over the Offerings

MONDAY OF HOLY W EEK

REFLECTION

 In the second part of the Book of Isaiah, dating from the Babylonian Exile, are four Poems of the Task of a Servant of the Lord. It is unclear whether this servant is an individual or a personification of the People of Israel, serving the Lord by witnessing to the values of God’s covenant with Israel, and eventually suffering for them. They depict a servant of the Lord, wholly dedicated to the Lord, and pleasing to him, who will bring true justice to Israel and to the nations, and will suffer hideously and die in the Lord’s service, and will eventually be justified. Whatever the original meaning, Christian tradition has applied these songs to Jesus and his mission. Three of these “Servant” poems are read on the first three days of Holy Week, and the fourth on Good Friday. It is most likely that Jesus himself had this task of the servant in mind when he speaks so frequently of his own task of service – “the Son of man came not to be served but to serve” (Mk 10:45) – or says that the first of his followers must be “last of all and servant of all” (9:35). The Voice from heaven to Jesus at the Baptism echoes the opening of the first song, “Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom my soul delights” (Is 42:1); this was the signal that his public mission should begin. So in a way these poems sum up the mission of Jesus. There seem to have been various stories circulating in the Christian tradition about a woman paying homage to Jesus by anointing him and wiping his feet with her hair. In Mark 14:3-9 at Bethany a woman anoints his head just before the Passion, and Jesus interprets this as preparation for his burial (as he would not later be anointed for his burial). In Luke 7:36-50 a woman sheds tears of repentance on his feet and anoints them with oil at the house of Simon the Pharisee; Jesus praises her for her unbounded love. Stressing repentance contrasted with Simon’s lack of courteous hospitality, this is a characteristic Lukan story. There may be some crossover between the different stories, for anointing the feet is unusual (it makes them sticky!), whereas anointing the head is more normal (the warmth then diffuses the perfume). This reaction of Jesus in putting homage to his own person before attention to the poor is unusual. Perhaps it is intended to counter the horror that is so soon to overtake him; it is certainly a useful reminder of the honour due to his person in every circumstance.

APPENDIX OF PRAYERS

We include some prayers that may be helpful during Holy Week. The Stations of the Cross are a common Lenten devotion; we give them here in the familiar text by St Alphonsus Liguori. Next are an examination of conscience and prayers for confession, to help us prepare for the Sacred Triduum. Then we give some scriptural texts arranged to help in praying the Rosary. Lastly, we give two Psalms: Psalm 21, which Jesus quoted on the Cross, and which identifies him as the Suffering Servant of the Lord, and Psalm 50, the best known of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Penitential Psalmsâ&#x20AC;?, professing our trust in the saving mercy of God our loving Father.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS Meditations by St Alphonsus Liguori Begin with:

y Lord Jesus Christ, you willingly walked this painful journey to your death on the Cross with unconditional love for each one of us, and I, how often have I ungratefully abandoned you. But now I love you with my whole soul, and because I love you I am sincerely sorry for having offended you. My Jesus, pardon me, and permit me to accompany you on this journey. You are going to die for love of me, and it is my wish also, my dearest Redeemer, to die for love of you. My Jesus, in your love I wish to live. In your love I wish to die.

The First Station Jesus is Condemned to Death V. (genuflecting) We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you. R. Because by your holy Cross you have redeemed the world.

V. Adoramus te, Christe, et benedicimus tibi. R. Quia per sanctam crucem tuam redemisti mundum.

Consider how Jesus, after having been scourged and crowned with thorns, was unjustly condemned by Pilate to die on the Cross. My loving Jesus, it was not Pilate; no, it was my sins that condemned you to die. By the merits of this agonising journey, I implore you, help me on my journey towards eternity. I love you, Jesus, my love, above all things; I repent with my whole heart of having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always; and then do with me what you will. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father. V. Have mercy on us, O Lord. R. Have mercy on us.

V. Miserere nostri, Domine. R. Miserere nostri.

At the Cross her station keeping, Stood the mournful Mother weeping, Close to Jesus to the last.

Stabat Mater dolorosa, Iuxta crucem lacrimosa, Dum pendebat Filius.

The Second Station Jesus Receives the Cross V. We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you. R. Because by your holy Cross you have redeemed the world.

V. Adoramus te, Christe, et benedicimus tibi. R. Quia per sanctam crucem tuam redemisti mundum.

Consider how Jesus, in making this journey with the cross on his shoulders, thought of us, and offered for us to his Father the death he was about to undergo. My most beloved Jesus! I embrace all the sufferings and disappointments that will come my way in this life. By the merits of the pain you suffered in carrying your cross, help me to carry mine with perfect patience and resignation. I love you, Jesus, my love, above all things: I repent with my whole heart of having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always; and then do with me what you will. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father. V. Have mercy on us, O Lord. R. Have mercy on us.

V. Miserere nostri, Domine. R. Miserere nostri.

Through her heart His sorrow sharing, All His bitter anguish bearing, Now at length the sword has passed.

Cuius animam gementem, Contristatam et dolentem, Pertransivit gladius.

The Third Station Jesus Falls for the First Time V. We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you. R. Because by your holy Cross you have redeemed the world.

V. Adoramus te, Christe, et benedicimus tibi. R. Quia per sanctam crucem tuam redemisti mundum.

Consider this first fall of Jesus under his cross. His flesh was torn by the scourges, his head was crowned with thorns; he had lost a great quantity of blood. He was so weakened that he could scarcely walk, yet he had to carry this great load on his shoulders. The soldiers struck him roughly and he fell several times.

SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION Remember that the sacrament is above all an act of God’s love. It is a personal moment to be lived in a relationship of love with God. It is not routine, nor an ordeal to be gone through, but is very much part of the personal renewal which takes place in each person. You are invited, in the light of God’s love, to recognise the sinfulness of your life, to have true sorrow for your sins, and a firm intention to avoid them in future.

Essential elements of a good confession To make a good confession, we should: 1. Pray first, asking God to help us. 2. Make a sincere examination of conscience to see how we have sinned since our last confession. 3. Confess our sins simply, with humility and honesty. 4. Make our act of contrition with heartfelt sorrow and a “firm purpose of amendment”, being determined that we will avoid the occasions of sin. 5. Devoutly carry out the penance prescribed and pray in thanksgiving for God’s overflowing love and mercy.

Prayer before Confession

lmighty and merciful God, you have brought me here in the name of your Son to receive your mercy and grace in my time of need. Open my eyes to see the evil I have done. Touch my heart and convert me to yourself. Where sin has separated me from you, may your love unite me to you again: where sin has brought weakness, may your power heal and strengthen; where sin has brought death, may your Spirit raise to new life. Give me a new heart to love you, so that my life may reflect the image of your Son. May the world see the glory of Christ revealed in your Church, and come to know that he is the one whom you have sent, Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord. Amen. 275

S A CRAM ENT OF REC ON C IL IATION

The Confiteor

confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

An Act of Contrition

my God, I am sorry and beg pardon for all my sins, and detest them above all things, because they deserve your dreadful punishments, because they have crucified my loving Saviour Jesus Christ, and, most of all, because they offend your infinite goodness; and I firmly resolve, by the help of your grace, never to offend you again, and carefully to avoid the occasions of sin.

EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE Careful preparation is vital in order to make the most of this encounter with our loving heavenly Father. Find some time to be alone and quiet to reflect on your life, your relationship with God and others. An examination of conscience provides us with what we are going to say in the confessional. Without time given to such examination our confession is in danger of being incomplete. There are many ways: one is to use a gospel passage, especially one of the many healing miracles or occasions of forgiveness (eg Lk 15:11-32; Jn 4:5-42; Mt 18:21-35; Lk 18:9-14). Imagine you are the person being healed or forgiven by Jesus. Read the scripture passage, imagine you are in the scene, and listen to the words of Jesus. He speaks to you! What do you say? Alternatively, Jesus summed up and extended the Ten Commandments by his two great commandments (Mk 12:28-42): Love God and your neighbour. Mortal sin is sin whose object is a grave matter and which is also committed with full knowledge and deliberate consent (Catechism 1857). We must confess all mortal sins. We are not obliged to confess all venial sins. We commit venial sin when, in a less serious matter, we do not observe the standard prescribed by the moral law, or when we disobey the moral law in a grave matter, but without full knowledge or without complete consent (Catechism 1862). Confession of venial sins is an act of devotion. We need not be unduly anxious to confess them all, but may rather choose to focus on areas of our life that are most in need of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace.

THE ROSARY As a Gospel prayer, centred on the mystery of the redemptive Incarnation, the Rosary is a prayer with a clearly Christological orientation. Its most characteristic element, in fact, the litany-like succession of Hail Marys, becomes in itself an unceasing praise of Christ, who is the ultimate object both of the Angel’s announcement and of the greeting of the Mother of John the Baptist: ‘Blessed is the fruit of your womb’ (Lk 1:42). (Pope Saint Paul VI, Apostolic Exhortation Marialis Cultus 46) The basic form of the Rosary is well known: one Our Father, ten Hail Marys and one Glory be make a decade, and each decade is usually devoted to meditating on a particular mystery. These mysteries are conventionally divided into four groups of five, as given below. These groups are usually assigned to particular days of the week, although this is only a custom and is not prescriptive.

JOYFUL MYSTERIES (MONDAYS & SATURDAYS)

The First Joyful Mystery: The Annunciation Lk 1:26-38

[The Angel Gabriel said to Mary,] ‘Rejoice, so highly favoured! The Lord is with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s favour. Listen! You are to conceive and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus’… Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I am a virgin?’ ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you’ the angel answered ‘and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow.’…‘I am the handmaid of the Lord,’ said Mary ‘let what you have said be done to me.’ And the angel left her. The Second Joyful Mystery: The Visitation Lk 1:39-47

Mary set out at that time and went as quickly as she could to a town in the hill country of Judah. She went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth. Now as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She gave a loud cry and said, ‘Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.…For the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy. Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.’
