PASSION (PALM) SUNDAY
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Palm Sunday is the start of the most solemn week of the church year. Today we reflect on the meaning of Jesus’ Kingship, acknowledged in his entry into Jerusalem and then in his passion and death. Let us rejoice in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and his gift to all humanity —God’s superabundant love poured out for us on the cross. |
