Monday morning, Christ returned to Jerusalem. According to the Synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, it is on this day that Jesus walked with firm purpose into the Temple and drove out the moneylenders, castigating them for making His Father’s house a “den of robbers.”
Jesus also began His final days giving the people a holy torrent of parables and warnings. Many of His most famous teachings and parables—such as the widow who gave two pennies, the parable of the wicked tenants, and the dispute about paying taxes to Caesar—happened during Passion week. I summarized a message from The Catholic Company. The Last Supper this Thursday is the daily Mass. We relive Passion Week every year.
