PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD

APRIL 14, 2019 From the proclamation of the Gospel at the beginning of the liturgy, we know that today is different, not only because we hear two Gospel passages, or because we hold palms and process. Today begins Holy Week, a time set apart, a week in which to listen, pray, reflect, and take to heart the truth of Christ’s passion, crucifixion, death, and ultimately, resurrection. It takes a week, and a lifetime, to truly hear the message of Christ’s love. It is difficult for us to comprehend that Jesus willingly sacrificed himself, so we must hear the story again and again. Let this week be for us a new moment of faith in which we, together with the criminal who was crucified with Christ, cry out, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

JESUS ANNOUNCES GOD’S KINGDOM OF LOVE Jesus had walked, healed, forgiven sins, performed miracles, and eaten with the people. His message was simple yet profound: in Christ, the kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus announced God’s kingdom of love, teaching all who would listen. In God’s kingdom, the greatest is as the youngest; the leader is the servant. Those who follow Jesus are called to wash feet, attend to the last and the least, show mercy to the sinner, and love enemies. Even in the hour of his passion, Jesus did not turn away from his mission of love. He healed the ear of one who had come to arrest him, did not lash out at Pilate or Herod, consoled the women who wept, and forgave those who crucified him. He heard the cry of the criminal who called out to him from the cross, and promised him a place in Paradise. Jesus shows us that God’s way is the way of love at all costs, even when it means giving more than we think appropriate or possible.

Today’s Readings: Lk 19:28–40; Is 50:4–7; Ps 22:8–9, 17–18, 19–20, 23–24; Phil 2:6–11; Lk 22:14 — 23:56 [23:1–49] (Worship Pgs. 1042-1052)

Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord Page Three We welcome those who join our Parish family today for the celebration of Palm Sunday.

We are reminded today of the great love and mercy that Jesus has for us! He died for our sins!

We meet him in Confession when we acknowledge our sins, our need for his Grace and Forgiveness, and receive His GRACE and the POWER to change the way we live! We thank God for this as we approach our celebration of Holy Week. (Please see the Confession Schedule!).

I hope and pray that many of you join us for this most beautiful celebration of our on-going salvation and growth in our relationship with the Suffering and Risen Christ!
