Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphal
entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. The adoring
crowds acclaim him king. To them, it
seems, Jesus has achieved his goal. He is
their leader. They have a hero, a person
with power, somebody who can do great
things.
For
Jesus it is the beginning of the last week
of his earthly life. The expectations of
the crowd are not his and a clash of
worlds is about to take place. A fight to
the death begins. Only One will emerge
victorious. During this most solemn week
of the church year we are invited to
travel with those few friends who followed
Jesus to Calvary. They are a minority, a
scared motley group who seem to be
completely lost. Although they are scared
they are unable to run away from their
Lord. They have traveled with him through
the high moments of miracles to the quiet
times when he spoke about the coming of
the kingdom. Place yourself in the company
of Mary his mother, Peter his friend or
some other follower. Talk to them, listen
to them, and follow closely Jesus of
Nazareth. This journey is real, the people
are real and Jesus is going to his death.
He wants the cross to touch our lives. The
story of this week is God’s story. It
is the story of God’s presence
revealed in Jesus of Nazareth. These are
the days of grief and glory. This week is
the story of creation and recreation. It
is a love story. We are his followers and
we cannot be detached from these decisive
events. Travel the road this week with
Jesus and He will call you by name on
Sunday morning.
A LENTEN
TENEBRAE SERVICE,
The Journey to the Cross, Palm Sunday,
April 1 at 3 pm, St. Robert Church, San
Bruno. Join us for a service of darkness
that takes us from Jesus’ arrival in
Jerusalem to his crucifixion. This service
of word and music sets the mood for the
most significant week of the Liturgical
Year, and helps to prepare us for the
Easter celebration ahead. A reception will
follow.
