"At the very moment the Lord Jesus died upon the Cross, that veil in the Temple was torn down the middle because all the types and figures of the Old Covenant were fulfilled in him who is the New and Eternal Covenant. In Jesus Christ, God the Father revealed everything of himself to the human race, and another name for revelation is unveiling. Jesus Christ is God dwelling among men.
In this Holy Week, we meditate on these words and all the other mysteries of our salvation, and we rejoice, as did Saint Paul in his Letter to the Philippians, that at the name of Jesus, who was obedient even unto death on a cross, every knee shall bend and every tongue confess to the glory of God the Father that Jesus Christ is Lord."
Fr. Jay Scott Newman
Excerpt from his homily delivered on Palm Sunday, 2025
