Palm Sunday

Today's readings carry the sorrow of the world. The false accusations, denials, betrayals and beatings Jesus faced are heartbreaking.





+ + + What brings greatest sorrow to my life?

+ + + How well do i bear my burden?

+ + + In what ways does the Passion of Jesus speak to that sorrow?



+ + + Which injustice in my life and in the world at large stirs the most passion in me?



+ + + Unlike Jesus, Who spent much of HIs last hours on earth in prayer, many of us forget to pray in the midst of a crisis. What role, if any, has prayer played for me in my hour of need?

The one who seeks not the cross of Christ seeks not the glory of Christ.
John of the Cross
16th century
