1. Foreword
The so-called "triumphal entry" of our Lord into Jerusalem is anything but a
triumph, as we can see from the tears shed by our Lord in Luke's parallel
account (Luke 19:41-44). Those who enthusiastically welcome Jesus to
Jerusalem as the "King of Israel" are some of the same people who, in a
week's time, will be crying out, "We have no king, but Caesar!". ...

Palm Sunday: The Victory of Humility
Though the Divine Word was God, dwelling in the serene heights of heavenly
glory, he freely plunged to the depths of human misery, joining himself to
our frail nature, entering into our turbulent world. As if this act of
humility were not enough, he further humbled himself, accepting the status

The Word of the Day: 'Hosanna!'
Now what is the meaning of this word hosanna, as we have used it and heard

Homily for Palm Sunday Mass
But what kind of a King is Jesus? Let us take a look at him: he is riding on
a donkey, he is not accompanied by a court, he is not surrounded by an army
as a symbol of power. He is received by humble people, simple folk. Jesus
does not enter the Holy City to receive the honors reserved to earthly
kings, to the powerful, to rulers; he enters to be scourged, insulted and
abused, as Isaiah foretold in Is 50:6. ...

A Palm Sunday Sermon
In the Gospels, we are presented with information about Jesus: what he did,
what he said, and who he was. But we are given very little information about
what he pondered in his heart. One exception is the forty day period of

life in the Garden of Gethsemane…
