Palm Sunday commemorates when Jesus entered Jerusalem and
was greeted by people waving palm branches. This event serves as a reminder for
Christians to welcome Jesus into their hearts and be ready to follow Him.
Palm Sunday occurs on the Sunday before Easter. This
celebration celebrates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, mentioned in each
of the four Gospels. Jesus entered the city knowing He would be tried and
crucified and welcomed His fate to rise from the grave and save us from sin!
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, the remembrance of Jesus' last
days.
Holy Week stands at the head of our calendar, the holiest
week of the entire liturgical year. Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday and
continues until Easter Sunday. It celebrates the Paschal Mystery, the passion
and death of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and his victorious resurrection, his
triumph over sin and death and his glorification by his Father. As we enter
into this holiest week of the year may we take time to reflect on the
scriptures of each of the days. May we
prepare our hearts to welcome the risen Christ on Easter.
