The plot against Jesus becomes more explicit on this eve of Palm Sunday: :.."Can you not see it is better for you that one man should die instead of the people, so that the whole nation may not perish." (Jn 11:50). This sealed the fate of Jesus, and in less that a week we will be commemorating his crucifixion. With the hatred and the "politics" so blatant, it makes the forgiveness Jesus offered on the cross even more startling:, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." (Lk 23:34) Could we ever bring ourselves to forgive someone who has brutally injured us? Can we forgive those who have been responsible for the millions killed in our World Wars? In the Terrorist attacks of the last two decades? Jesus is our model, and perhaps we have met some others who are as forgiving. Worth some soul-searching as we approach Holy Week.
