We enter the holy week with Palm Sunday. The mood changes as we read of the Passion from St. Luke. True love is about embracing God's will. As the Lord entered Jerusalem as he knew what awaited him, Jesus was willing to embrace God's will. The story is not just a tragic ending on the cross. Jesus chooses to embrace the cross. Each step toward calvary showed that Jesus did it for us. Jesus thinks of mercy and forgiveness. Too often we say we love others, willing to forgive but we cling on to our pride. True forgiveness is sacrifice and we must stand for it. Jesus dies for all. The Lord chooses to love us even knowing our sins, the greatest love ever known. As we enter the holy week let us reflect on the Passion and how it brings us to God. God bless your families, amen.
