04/10/20 Prepared But Not Ready

Homily from Good Friday of the Lord's Passion.

Why are we surprised when we discover that “weakness” is actually weak?

Jesus prepared His disciples for His Passion. But they were not ready, because they had not factored in their own weakness. But Jesus had factored it in. It was, in fact, why He entered His Passion.
