Jesus went ahead of them

“The disciples were on the way, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went ahead of them. They were amazed, and those who followed were afraid.” (MK 10: 32)

Our Lord is always “ahead of us.” He leads us and takes upon Himself all our burdens. He knows how His journey will end, but it doesn’t stop Him, on the contrary—His love for us urges Him on.

“The Son of Man came to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Gospel Acclamation)
