In this homily, Rev. Gray Hodsdon offers a reflection on the complex emotions of Palm Sunday, marking the beginning of Holy Week with a call to deep participation. He reflects on the liturgical "whiplash" that propels us from celebration to contemplation, urging us to see our own reflections in the story of Jesus's final days. This powerful message invites us to a week of meaningful engagement and spiritual growth.
