Christ death and Resurrection and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The three days in the tomb and the raising the removing of the stone and the Passion that preceded it - they all make me think of the sacrament of Reconciliation. The old dying in the pangs of guilt. Our Passion... The Words spoken - like the amniotic liquid sustaining Jesus in Mary`s womb that had been fecundated by the Holy Spirit. An open heart surgery - entrusting our souls to Christ - lke we do to Mary when praying the Rosary -that brings a renewal Becoming ourselves the womb for Jesus in our renewed souls - white like the robe that covered him and immaculate like the heart of Mary. Our yes when we enter the confessional box kneeling down in total humble trust and surrender. Pleading to have our souls healed. Entrusting our fragile humanity to the `womb` of the sacrament that brings a rebirth like God fully entrusted Himself as a baby first and then in his growing years to the hands of the two human beings that had treasured His Words and who He called to take care and build from that first precious cornerstone the Church . Joseph - a carpenter... His Kingdom- Jesus body - us His Body. Each of us the building bricks - Joseph and Mary our model `carpenters`. Have a blessed Sunday :''

Why do you think Pilate gave Jesus the title King of the Jews?

He recognises his authority all the preaching he did and all the conversions he brought about. He doesn`t unfderstand the full meaning but he aknowledges that a large part of the people see in him a figure of authority. He has full respect for the man his human `power` like the Roman soldier who saw him dying for the cause. They don`t understand the full meaning the spiritual one. It`s the Humanity of Jesus that thunderstaruck them. His warfare power - spiritual warfare but the weapons he uses his word and his guts in spraeding it and the stamina in facing all the walking and facing the enemies.

Why was the crowd so intent on having Jesus crucified?

They are full of hatred cause they don`t recognise him as the son of God. He lets Pilate proceed with the crucifixion. So they say where is your power. The real son of God would free himself from death. But they haven`t accepted the word understood that it`s another death and life he was talking about. They hate him so they hate the Father cause they don`t understand that he came to save them. Pilate obeys to them because he is afraid of the crowd that they might rebel. Although the Word is for everyoen he did not have all the OT treasured so that he could see the meaning of Jesus sacrifice and how he would fullfill the law. But Jesus ahd spoken openly to all the jews also through the high priests. Power comes from above. Puzzling as it seems that the fullfilling comes through the very hatred of the Jews. that leadsto ercognition. Together with the recognition and refusla to act on the part of Pilate.
