In the Entrance Gospel, we hear that the people cried Hosanna, looking for a messiah. Jesus is indeed the Messiah, but not the one they expected.

Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead, though he was dead for 4 days. He exits the tomb, still bound, but this shows the irresistible call of our Lord to life.

As we continue in Lent, we hear of our Lord’s Transfiguration, an event that gave the Apostles Peter, James, and John a glimpse of our Lord’s Resurrected glory, a foreshadow that the darkness of the Cross would be conquered by His light.
