    With today’s gospel reading comes the shift to the beginning of the Passion and the response which Jesus makes as he is told that there were some Greeks waiting to see him, points us in the direction of the cross – a place to which Jesus himself is reluctant to go.

    Christ fed the 5,000 food, and they wanted him to be King. The problem was, Christ's kingship was not to come to pass at that time.

    Dominus vobiscum. Brethren, today is the fourth Sunday of Lent, otherwise known as Latare Sunday. Jerusalem is an important place, as we all know, for all of the Abrahamic religions.
