In Today's Gospel speaks of Jesus' triumphant entrance into Jerusalem.
No other Sunday in the liturgical year reflects such dramatic contrast as today. What begins with songs of triumph quickly shifts into remembrance of the Lord's death on a cross. His royal entrance into the holy city of Jerusalem was also an entrance into the mystery of his suffering, death and resurrection. As we enter this holiest of weeks with Christ, may our participation in each solemn liturgy draw us into deeper union with him and with one another. Today's liturgy "unites the royal splendor of Christ with the proclamation of his Passion".
