Palm Sunday (C) Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, also known as "Passion Sunday." First we read Luke's account of Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Then we read this same Gospel's account of the death of Jesus. God the Father calls Jesus to total self-giving love. We were made by love and for love. We only find fulfillment in self-giving love. So why can't we love like Jesus? Fear and selfishness become obstacles to truly loving. As we read the Passion reading, we notice how many of the characters are motivated by fear or selfishness or both. God wants more for us. He wants us to build our lives on the rock of His love so we can truly love as we were created to live. Our savior is not afraid to die for us. Let us not be afraid to live for him.
