Three Hearts With Jesus During the Last Supper

Three Hearts with Jesus During the Last Supper The Gospel reading takes place in the upper room and recounts the Last Supper. The disciples are sitting around the table with Jesus. Our attention is drawn to three men. It is important to note, because one cannot fully engage the Passion of the Lord, without paying attention to the other characters. Jesus suffers during the Passion, but He is not alone in most of it. The three men are Judas, Peter and the other disciple . . . the one whom Jesus loved. Three Classes of the Human Heart Three classes of the human heart. It also represents three situations in which our own heart can find itself. First, we have the unfaithful heart . . . the heart capable of rejection and betrayal. Second, we have a loyal, but flawed heart. It is the heart of one who tries to be faithful. One that tries to be a good friend. It is a heart that often succeeds, but despite best intentions, often comes up short. He fails at loving. He fails not because he doesn’t love, but often shows his love in the wrong way. Lastly, we have this “Other” heart. A heart that rests against the beating heart of the Lord Himself! The beloved, whose life is marked with a singular intimacy with the Lord. Listen to this Homily to hear more about these three hearts. The first words within the Gospel are moving words. Jesus is deeply troubled. We can almost hear the pain in His voice. He knows one of His friends will betray Him. The suffering of the Lord has already begun within the Upper Room. Listen to Three Hearts with Jesus During the Last Supper. Listen to this Meditation Media.
