THE PASSION ACCORDING TO JOHN
CARDINAL THOMAS COLLINS
In Holy Week, the Passion narratives from Matthew, Mark, or Luke highlight Jesus's human suffering, while John's account, read on Good Friday, emphasizes his divine authority and control.
How do the different portrayals of Jesus in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John help you better understand his life and sacrifice?
Heavenly Father, as we reflect on the Passion of Your Son, grant us the grace to appreciate the depth of His suffering and the magnitude of His sacrifice. Help us to see through the lens of both His humanity and His divine authority, that we may grow closer to Him in our own trials and tribulations. Amen.
