PALM SUNDAY OF THE LORD’S PASSION

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By
Our Lent Journey

For five weeks of Lent we have been preparing, by works of charity and self-sacrifices, for the celebration of our Lord’s paschal mystery his passion, death, and Resurrection. Today we celebrate the Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion the first day of the Holy Week.

On this day the Church celebrates Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem to accomplish his Paschal Mystery. Accordingly, the memorial of this event is included in every Holy Mass with the procession or the solemn entrance before the Mass.

Our Happy daily lives can be only express by our worship of God our Creator on Sundays. By Palm Sunday we praise our Lord Jesus Christ, we call him Holy Son of David and King of Israel. We give him the worship of God to make Him equal with God Creator for his work of our Salvation.

During this Holy Mass we will hear the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. Mark. This is the lecture of St. Peter very short in words but very precisely in facts of faith. We have to find ourselves in that story because our sinful behavior is the purpose of this event and our own role is very important in the whole economy of Salvation.

The Holy Mass which we now celebrate is the Paschal Mystery of Jesus and ours therefore we need to be present on that event.

“Blessed are you who have come to us so rich in love and mercy.”
