Palm Sunday 2023

As we enter Holy Week we reflect on Jesus and his insurmountable love for us. Jesus marched into hell so we could have heaven. He took the desert so we could have garden, and He took the eternal thirst so you could have fountain of life.

He could see in her an important part of his own personal story, a story that testified to the faithfulness and loving-kindness of God. In the moment of his greatest desolation, Jesus could see the invisible outline of God's mercy and presence there in the one from whom, in his human nature, he learned to trust a fathering, a nurturing God. The horror of the scene was not the whole story; the judgment of the Roman Empire was not the final word. He knew that since he was cradled in the arms of his mother."
