      SOME THOUGHTS ON TODAY’S GOSPEL                            Today we joined Christ the great Messiah who enters the city as a king, a man on whom the people pin their hopes and dreams, a man who will lead a great army. The people did not see, however, that the army that Christ represented was not one of spears and arrows, armor and war. Yes, this was     the kind of Messiah that the people had learned through Scripture to anticipate. But Christ was a man who challenged everything that went before; his triumphal entry to Jerusalem was the beginning of a new kingship in which Christ suffered death for the salvation of sins. He wore humility as his armor, integrity as his spear, love as his teaching.

 

 

Palm Sunday

LITURGY OF THE WORD

 

1^st Reading Isaiah 50:4-7

(Christ’s Suffering)

The suffering of God’s servant will not deter him from faith in God.

 

Responsorial Psalm PS 22

(Christ’s Abandonment)

“My God, my God, why have you abandoned me.”

 

2^nd Reading   Philippians 2:6-11

(Humility)

Jesus Christ is Lord!

 

The Gospel of Luke 22:14-23:56

(The Passion)

Attend to the account of Christ’s last days, and consider how he suffered

that we might have faith. By his Holy Cross, he has saved the world.
