Palm
Sunday of the Lord's Passion
The week ahead, known
to us as Holy Week, is the most important
time of the whole year for us as Christians
to grow in a knowledge of what our
faith is about. Unfortunately it has
increasingly become a time of heading
to the sun for so many people. During
this week we are put in touch with
the reality of Christ’s death
on the Cross for us and the wonderful
knowledge of his Resurrection from
the dead. We are also put in touch
with the reality of the human condition
that can change so quickly from enthusiasm
to hatred as on Palm/Passion Sunday
or from love to cowardice as on Holy
Thursday. Thursday, Friday and Saturday
are particularly important for us
to give time to prayer and reflection
that are provided for in the various
liturgies. The Church is greatly weakened
when people don’t give this
time. Will you?

Palm Sunday
of the Lord’s Passion
First Reading
: Isaiah 50: 4-7
The prophet suffers in carrying out
his mission, but is confident that
God will vindicate him.
Second Reading:
Philippians 2: 6-11
Because Jesus took on himself our
human condition and accepted death
on a cross, the Father has made him
Lord of heaven and earth.
Gospel: Luke
22: 14-23:56
Luke’s version of the Passion
Story. As in the rest of his Gospel,
so in his account of the Passion,
Luke presents a Christ who is merciful
and forgiving even to his executioners.
