Fr. Christopher Panagoplos, TOR, unpacks the meaning of “The Hour” of Jesus in the Gospel of John:

“Our readings today are filled with anticipation. “The days are coming,” Jeremiah prophesies in today’s first reading. “The hour has come,” Jesus says in the Gospel. The new covenant that God promised to Jeremiah is made in the “hour” of Jesus—in His death, resurrection, and ascension to the Father’s right hand—the glorification of the Crucified Majesty of God.”
