The Divine Became a Slave so that Slaves Might Become Divine
In the Second Reading, St. Paul professed that Jesus emptied himself of his divinity in choosing to become one like us and by accepting the death on the cross of a slave. In so doing, he freed all humanity, who once were slaves to sins and death.
Moreover, as the Son of God, he shares with us his divinity. His words and his Eucharist (the Gospel) continues to pour out on us every day and makes us one with Him, children of God.
Thus, the events of Jesus passion, death, and resurrection make this week Holy Week. And we celebrate this week as an act of praise and thanksgiving.
