Sharing the Lord's Portion

In the gospel scene for this Tuesday of Holy Week, I am struck by the humanity of the apostles and can imagine the passage of Jn. 13:21-33ff well. There they all are at table to celebrate the Passover and Jesus announces that one of them is a betrayer. What does Peter do? He catches John's eye and signals with a nod, "Find out who it is!" And Jesus actually indicates his betrayer, although Peter and John could not fully comprehend at that moment all that it meant. 

This makes me wonder how it must have been for Jesus, knowing his betrayer, and also not wanting to be alone with that knowledge perhaps? He shared it with two of those closest to him. He gifted them with a portion of his lot, his struggle, since his hour had finally come.

Jesus, I want to walk with you today, to bear with you your own portion. Yes, Lord, to share in your life, your pain, your struggles. I was not there at the Last Supper, but I am here at my office, at the grocery store, at school, and in so many places where I can share life with "you" through the people you place on my path. Help me be attentive to you and walk with you today in whatever way you need me to share life with you.
