Daily Readings for Palm Sunday

Father Kirk's Daily Lenten Reflection
Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion:  April 10, 2022

As we begin Holy Week, the church places the cross before us and asks us to focus our hearts and our prayers and our attention on it.  The church asks us – if we are experiencing any kind of pain or sorrow or suffering – to unite ours to Christ’s.  And if we are not, the Church asks us to embrace the cross in faith knowing that one day it will find us; one day the cross will present itself to us in a very real and tangible way.  For the Christian there is no way to escape the reality of the cross … it is the only way to salvation.

Thus throughout this coming week, let us keep in mind these words of Jesus: “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross each day and follow in my footsteps."
