Barabbas by par lagerkvist6/11/2023 A woman after Mass told me that there had also been a movie about Barabbas based on a book that was much better. Likewise, we are the guilty ones and Jesus, the innocent one, died for us.Īs I was preaching, I brought to mind an old Hallmark special TV drama about Barabbas that fascinated me as a boy. That included for me Barabbas, I said, because we have something in common with him.īarabbas was guilty and was set free, while Jesus was innocent and condemned to die. My spiritual reading for Lent this year was a book by a Spanish saint who proposed a novel idea: that we should be so involved and engaged as we read the Gospels that we become virtual participants in them.Īs I explained this initiative to my parishioners in my homily for Palm Sunday, one of my applications of this was that, inserted in the narrative, we relate to the other actors in the drama of our salvation.
