Pastor’s Notes . . . March 20, 2016

Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord

Today we remember the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem, and we mark the final days of his Passion, death, and Resurrection. The crowd cries out “Hosanna in the Highest!” The same crowds of people will soon cry out “Crucify him, crucify him!” How quickly they change their minds about Jesus, and how typical of human behavior. When all is going well we find it easy to give praise to God, but when life becomes difficult, we turn our backs on him. We soon forget our commitment to “take up the cross” and follow Jesus. True Christian discipleship is found in the rough and the smooth, the good and the bad, the ups and downs of life. In all things we continue to journey onward and upward in the life of faith. Remember that the relationship between God and his people is often compared to that of husband and wife. The wedding vows a couple takes speak of that same kind of commitment: “In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, from this day forward.” When a man is ordained a priest the bishop asks him if he promises “Respect and obedience to me and my successors.” In other words the promises of love and respect that ties us to one another in the Sacrament of Marriage and the Sacrament of Holy Orders are a reflection of the ties that bind us to Christ as his disciples. Let us reflect upon these things as we remember and prepare for the sacred days of Holy Week.
