On Palm Sunday, The Rev. Michael Singer reflects on the dramatic shift from celebration to crucifixion. One moment, the crowd shouts “Hosanna!” — and the next, “Crucify him.” In the liturgy, we take on both roles, revealing a deeper truth about ourselves.

Father Michael reminds us that this tension is not just part of the story — it is part of us. We long to follow Christ, yet we are often pulled in other directions. Rather than leaving us in guilt, the Gospel invites us to face this reality honestly, offer it to God, and seek wholeness through grace.
