Palm Sunday A | Matthew 21
Our texts this week are here

Our prayer this week: “Jesus Weeps” by Malcolm Guite in the collection Word in the Wilderness … While we lament yet another school shooting in the news cycle this week, we remember that Jesus weeps over all of this too.

There have been several commentators that mention a Roman custom of a show of force– that on the other side of the city Pilate would have been parading in on a war horse accompanied by a squadron or two of Roman soldiers. (see Borg & Crossan, The Last Week, pages 1-30)

We mentioned @BlackLiturgies and This Here Flesh, by Cole Arthur Riley
