Bible Question: This lectionary reading for April 4th 2004 ends with Luke 19:40 yet the following verses 41-44 which were written later to refer to 70 ad. How do we incorporate that in the Palm Sunday Text |
Bible Answer: lynda, The reason Luke 19:41-44 is left out on Palm Sunday is probably due to its apocalyptic nature, which is not the focus of the Palm Sunday liturgy. Palm Sunday always focuses on the "triumph" of the entry and contrasts that by the rapid switch to the "tagedy" of the Passion only five days later. Jesus' lament over Jerusalem in Luke 19:41-44 is found only in Luke's account. The Palm Sunday readings on the three year lectionary cycle alway have the passage of the triumphal entry into Jerusalem and the Passion accounts from Matthew , Mark and Luke in that order of years A, B and C. Luke 19:41-44, which is a more apocalyptic passage is in the daily Mass lectionary for Friday of the thirty second week of Ordinary Time, which is the week before the end of the liturgical calender, which ends with the feast of Christ the King. The readings for that time frame are usually the apocalyptic type. The daily lectionary is a two year cycle so Luke 19:41-44 gets read every other year, assuming that is the only time one reads or hears scripture. Obviously you do not fit into that category and I suspect many others do not either. Emmaus |
