Regarding the sermons we will hear over the Triduum, our guest preacher, Fr David Twomey, has recommended we watch Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out mystery. It's available on Netflix.
This Sunday is Palm Sunday, marking the beginning of Holy Week with Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
In the days of the Roman Empire it was customary for victorious generals to enter the city at the head of the army, in a great parade; a show of pomp and power.
Here we see Jesus entering Jerusalem not as a conquering emperor but as a humble servant. Not upon a war chariot, but upon a donkey.
On Palm Sunday our king comes to us. A king defined not by the trappings of worldly power, but a king who conquers through love and service.
“Look, your king comes to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey.”
Every blessing,
Fr Myles
Rector
