As Holy Wednesday arrives, our hearts are drawn to the final days of Jesus’ earthly ministry. This day, often overlooked amidst the events of Holy Week, holds profound significance as it marks the last moments before Jesus’ betrayal and crucifixion.
On Holy Wednesday, Jesus continued to teach his disciples, imparting wisdom and preparing them for the trials that lay ahead. One of the most notable events of this day is Jesus’ anointing at Bethany by Mary, sister of Lazarus. Her act of pouring expensive perfume on Jesus’ feet foreshadowed His imminent death and burial.
As we reflect on Holy Wednesday, let us pause to consider the lessons Jesus imparted to his disciples. His teachings on love, humility, and service serve as timeless reminders of the values we are called to embody as followers of Christ.
In the midst of our busyness and distractions, may we take time to ponder Jesus’ final words and to recommit ourselves to living lives of faithfulness and devotion.
