Wednesday of Holy Week
Somehow it seems easy to imagine this man, out of nowhere, asked to open his home to strangers for a meal. Like Mary, he says yes, inviting the Passion story to begin, witness to an event of epic proportions. The conversation moves off-center, Christ’s betrayer has dipped his hand into the man’s bowl, eternities echoing instant, the bowl filled with both darkness and light, not I lord, not I. (Reflection on Matthew 26:14-25)
