Today, Catholic Christians celebrate Palm Sunday – or “Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord” to be more exact, the first day of Holy Week.
On this day, at the beginning of the Mass, we read this from the Gospel of Mark:
“So, they [the apostles] went off and found a colt tethered at a gate outside on the street, and they untied it. Some of the bystanders said to them, ‘What are you doing, untying the colt?’ They answered them just as Jesus had told them to, and they permitted them to do it. So, they brought the colt to Jesus and put their cloaks over it. And he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. Those preceding him as well as those following kept crying out:
‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to come! Hosanna in the highest!’” (Mark 11: 4-10).
This week commemorates some amazing elements in the life of Christ, and tomorrow, we’ll look at what those are and what they mean to us today for our Faith.
