Palm Sunday

PASSION SUNDAY                      

 
The solemn procession of this Sunday recalls Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. He comes as a king. He enters humbly riding a donkey. He comes as a man of peace. We gather to bless our palms and proclaim Jesus as our King. This moment of triumph opens the door to Holy Week. 
 
This Sunday is also called Palm Sunday.
 
The echoes of our song of glory and honor fade as we ponder the long narration of Jesus’ passion, death and burial. The readings from Isaiah and the letter to the Philippians help us retain some balance and seek comfort as we consider death and its relationship to life, the crucifixion and its relationship to the Resurrection.
