SUMMARY:Monday of Holy Week
DESCRIPTION:WHEN ALL WAS TO BE PUT TO THE TEST\nBy Henri Daniel-Rops2\n◊◊◊\nThe day which followed the astonishing Sunday of the triumphal entry\nwas not so striking\, but was nonetheless full of significance. Jesus entered\nJerusalem every day\, went up to the Temple\, and spoke to audiences which\nlistened to him with enthusiasm\, while the chief priests and scribes sought\nmeans to destroying him. To Jesus\, the slightest incident was an occasion for a\nlesson\, which often took the form of a warning. \nSo it was all through the Monday. What precisely was the meaning of the\ncurious episode\, uncharacteristic of Christ’s normally merciful manner\, in\nwhich he condemned a fig tree on which he found no figs to wither? And who\nis the bad son who pretends to be submissive to his father’s will\, but in reality\ndisobeys him? Or the rebellious wine dressers who kill their master’s servants\nin order to seize the harvest? What is the name of the stone rejected by the\nbuilders which will be the cornerstone of the new building? And do we not know\nthese guests invited to the royal feast who refuse to attend? One is almost afraid\nto understand at whom these gestures\, these parables are aimed. At this\nmoment\, Israel’s refusal seems to haunt Jesus’ mind and to fill it with anguish. \nWe are hardly surprised to find that the leaders of the community sent\nemissaries to ask Jesus with what right he was behaving as he was. He avoided\nthe question by himself asking them an embarrassing one concerning what kind\nof a man was John\, and they could not give him any answer. But we can hardly\nbe surprised that their anger grew\, and that they were on the point of laying\nhands on him. Jesus cast a real challenge at his adversaries at this moment\nwhen he knew that all was to be put to the test. \n2 The Life of Our Lord. Daniel-Rops. Hawthorn Books Inc. NY\, 1965\, p. 140.
