DAILY HOMILIES #online space

As Isaiah sings in today’s first reading, Jesus is silent; he does not turn backwards, but He gives His back to those who strike Him and His cheeks to those who pull out His beard. He does not hide His face from shame and spitting. Nevertheless, Jesus said: “Woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” (Matthew 26:24)
