Dear Friends,
Every Palm Sunday, we gather to tell the story of how Jesus marched triumphantly into Jerusalem. The gospels tell us that Jesus rode in on a colt– a donkey, a beast of burden– and that the people of Jerusalem laid down their cloaks, shouting joyously about the great deeds of power he had performed among them (Lk 19:28-40). They welcomed him as they might a king, and they expected him to fit the mold and act the part. Read Fr. Javier’s Letter
