Let’s examine some of the themes in the Mass readings for Palm Sunday.

1st Reading – Isaiah 50:4-7

  • The prophet speaks to the weary rousing words with the help of God.
  • He is not disgraced, even in the face of attack and mockery.

    • Psalm – 22:8-9,17-20,23-24

    • “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”
    • READ THIS ENTIRE PSALM in light of the Passion of Jesus Christ! It is worth your time and effort.

      • 2nd Reading – Philippians 2:6-11

      • Jesus “emptied himself” by taking on our human form and being crucified for our sake.
      • Because of his obedience to the Father’s will, his name is exalted above all names, and before him every knee shall bend – in heaven, on earth, and under the earth – proclaiming that he is Lord.

        • Gospel – Luke 22:14-23:56

        • Take time this week to read these two chapters and pray over Luke’s account of the Passion of the Lord.
        • May the death of Jesus help us to comprehend the immensity of God’s love for us all.
