We’re in the final stretch of Lent—and this week on All Set for Sunday, we’re pressing pause on the hustle and diving into something much deeper: what it really means to walk with Jesus during Holy Week.
Between palm branches, Passion readings, and prepping for Triduum, it’s easy to get swept up in the what. But in this episode, we focus on the why—and how Luke’s unique account of the Passion calls us into a love that forgives, redeems, and transforms.
Why Luke’s Gospel Hits Different
This week’s Gospel brings a fresh lens to the Passion. Fr. Johnson joins us to walk through Luke’s account—where Christ is declared innocent again and again, yet still chooses the cross.
The twist? He doesn't just endure suffering—He chooses it for our sake.
"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
Jesus doesn’t just suffer. He forgives. He restores. He transforms even the thief on the cross.
We talk about:
✅ Why Luke emphasizes innocence and mercy
✅ What the Good Thief teaches us about last-minute grace
✅ How to actually enter into Holy Week as a family
✅ Why this season is less about perfection—and more about presence
And yes, we also cover important topics like:
-
Is it cloak Sunday now?
-
What’s with all the palm folding during the Passion?
-
And how Scott’s 6-year-old delivered a mini Passion sermon at bedtime 💥
This episode is for anyone who’s feeling rushed, distracted, or maybe even a little behind this Lent. You don’t need to do more—you just need to show up.
🎧 Listen now and get your heart set for Holy Week.
