Liturgical Hints & Ideas:
The idea of a grain of wheat planted in the earth shows in a dramatic way the glory that may come from suffering. A related countertheme may also be developed- today was previously called "Passion Sunday." There are remnants of that title in the prayers and preface of today's Mass. Music may begin a shift today, looking toward the sufferings of Christ.
