Our Lord takes the time to proclaim to His apostles exactly what is going to happen to Him; delivered, scourged and put to death. They apparently understand none of it. Their ears are still closed. They heard this told to them by Our Lord Himself, we, on the other hand, have not heard it by Him, but we've heard this Gospel reading many, many times, contemplated it and prayed about it, but are our ears closed most of the time, our hearts cold when it comes to these revelations? We cannot tarry, we cannot linger over these worldly goods that can take up our time and thinking. The Church provides us with this, the Season of Lent, to help bring us back into the fold, so to speak. Let us not waste another moment.
