Editor’s note: text is taken from The Liturgical Year, authored by Dom Prosper Gueranger (1841-1875) Today, we begin, as does the holy Gospel, to number the days which precede the Death, the Sacrifice, of the Lamb of God. St. John, in the 12th Chapter of his Gospel, tells us that this is the Sixth day before the Pasch. Jesus is in Bethania, where a feast is being given in his honour.
