Sisters and brothers, we are being ‘summoned’; we are summoned to an ‘encounter’, to a living encounter with Jesus. This summoning, as Fr. Casey told us on Palm Sunday, asks that we come with our whole being: ‘our minds, our hearts and our feet’. The backdrop for our encounter with Jesus during these days of the Holy Triduumis God’s love. With Jesus love will always have the last word and will be his orientation towards us as we meet him in this present moment. The horizon of God’s love that Jesus embodies, which is brought to the encounter, meets the present horizon of our lives. We encounter the expansive horizon of Jesus’ life and consciousness: an horizon, which embodies the immensity of God’s love and truth and overshadows the very limited horizon of our lives where we strive to expand our minds and hearts to be more Christ like in our everyday living and in the choices we make.
