As we enter the days of the Triduum, a few reflections around letters exchanged between Jesus and some of the central characters of the Holy Week Story. Based on previous pieces posted on this blog and adapted for Radio, these are featured during Holy Week on “A Living Word”, produced by Aidan Mathews and aired during “Rising Time” on RTE Radio 1 at 6.15am.
Today’s reflection is based around the Centurion at the foot of the Cross, the one who came to recognise Jesus and accept him at the very moment of His death on the Cross. The recognition may have been at that moment but it came as the result of witnessing a remarkable journey, maybe even struggle … there is also a short response from Jesus, based around his final words “It is accomplished”
A Letter from the Centurion and Jesus’ reply
Holy Week Letters
Thanks for sharing this journey over the days. Thanks also to Aidan Mathews and RTE Radio for the opportunity to share these few reflections. I hope you enjoyed them and I hope they had some part to play in your Holy Week 2017 journey.
As we continue the journey into Holy Week and the celebration of the Triduum, the second piece from this week’s “A LIVING WORD” on RTE’s RISING TIME featured this morning. It’s a letter from Judas, in response to the one sent by Jesus and speaks of Judas’ regrets over the decision he has taken.
Last week I met Aidan Mathews in RTE and we recorded five “reflections” for Holy Week. These are being broadcast over the coming days, the first this morning, and take the form of letters exchanged between Jesus and some of the characters in the Passion Story. Today’s letter is from Jesus to Judas and seeks to reassure him that there is an understanding around the decision he took.
The pieces go out during the “RISING TIME” Show in the “A LIVING WORD” segment and are broadcast around 6.15am each morning.
Heard this on Playback on Saturday morning. Class! What a gift to be able to make a sound so fresh and a tune so special. God bless the work, Finbar Furey!
