Sunday Gospel Message - Palm Sunday of the LORD'S Passion

PALM SUNDAY OF THE LORD’S PASSION
This is the week that we call “holy.” We look at the
great events of the last week of Jesus’ physical life upon earth.
All of these events tell us of His great love for us. “He
humbled Himself, becoming obedient to the point of death,
even death on the cross.” Use this week to reflect upon Jesus’
great love for us. He gave Himself in the Eucharist and He died
on the cross for us.
This week celebrates the most beautiful liturgies of the
entire liturgical year. If, at all possible, attend the Holy Week
services. Some ceremonies are long, but they are most
significant and meaningful. The Easter Vigil, on Saturday, is most special for it is the highlight of the Lenten
Retreat. At that time, we will welcome into our community of
faith those individuals who have been part of the RCIA process
for months. Try to join in prayer during the Sacred Triduum,
Holy Thursday through Easter Sunday.
