| Dear John,
On Palm Sunday, we remember both Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, as well as His Sacred Passion.
As we listen to these accounts today, we know that these are historical events that happened in physical locations, which are revered today. Jesus walked this earth, just like you and me.
Jesus Christ truly lived, truly suffered, and truly died in the city of Jerusalem. He entered into His Passion so that we could be forgiven of our sins and in order to teach us the lessons of His love.
His arms are extended for love of us. His Heart is open for us.
Likewise, we can follow His perfect example by patiently enduring our own suffering, uniting it with His, offering it for love of Him who died for us.
Greatly to be loved is He who loved us so greatly.
May this Holy Week bring us closer to our Beloved One as we walk with Him on the Way of the Cross.
