Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord (April 10, 2022)

Isa 50.4-7; Phil 2.6-11; Lk 22.14-23.56

  • With today’s remembrance of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, we begin Holy Week. And as we follow the account of the passion of Christ in today’s Gospel, let us not forget that all those sufferings reflect Christ’s love for us.

  • He himself said that there was no greater love than that a man should lay down his life for his friends. He is telling us that He is our friend and that He wants to be our friend. And proof of it is His willingness to undergo those atrocities for our good.

  • Now while we may never be called to die for another, we are called to love. This love for the weak, the vulnerable, and the innocent must manifest itself in our prayers, mortification, resources, and action - in working to build a Culture of Life.
