Palm Sunday 3/24/2024
Most psalms were written between 1010 BC and 930, 1,000 years before Christ. Psalm 68, written by King David (born c. 1035 BC, died c. 970), told what would happen to Christ. www.newadvent.org/cathen/12533a.htm Stephaton (Steven), is the name given in Catholic tradition to the Roman soldier or bystander, unnamed in the Bible, who offered Jesus a sponge soaked in sour/bitter vinegar wine at the Crucifixion. He is frequently portrayed in art with Longinus, the Roman soldier who pierced Jesus' side with a spear. "I looked for one that would grieve together with Me, and there was none." I grieve with Him. This has been the strongest pull on me through the years, even more so now that my brother is dead. I propose that no man can be without a brother or brotherhood, and no counter-argument can succeed.
