On Palm Sunday we reflect on the passion of our Lord, from Jesus's entry into Jerusalem to his suffering and death as we approach Holy Week and the hope of our Lord's resurrection at Easter.

Jesus's Passion reveals his great love for us, a love that does not count the cost; a love that knows no end.

The Passion reminds us that there is nothing we experience in this world—false judgment, harsh treatment, betrayal, rejection, humiliation, or emotional or physical suffering—that the Lord has not already endured for our sake.

Jesus identifies closely with our burdens and is never distant from us. He invites us to walk the path to Jerusalem with him and to unite our sufferings to his, with the assurance this is the path that leads to glory.
