Journeying with Jesus’ last week

Invitation: Let us to look at some of the events in the last week of Jesus that demonstrate His humanity, and to try and understand what that means for those of us who are fellow sojourners here in the 21st century. In so doing, I hope that we will have a deeper understanding of the identification that Jesus has with all of us, each of us, as we try to understand, deal with, and elevate our own humanity.

It is the Spirit of the Lord “that has filled the world” (Wis 1:7) and “renews the face of the earth”. We need to be attentive and open to the mysterious stirrings of the Spirit in the realities of Asia and of the Church. In the Scriptures, renewal is the shaping of what is qualitatively new, totally new. Renewal refers principally to the salvation wrought through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit. It extends to everything and to all times—until the Spirit has refashioned a new heaven and a new earth. (Rev 21:1; Is 65:17).
