Fr. Glenn: Passionate
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
So, we come this weekend (March 29 this year) to Passion, or “Palm”, Sunday … the latter name referring to the branches placed on the road as the Israelites celebrated the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. While that passage of the Gospel opens the day’s Catholic Mass, it hardly speaks to the whole of the day’s remembrance. Rather, in the Gospel of the day’s Mass and of other denominations’ observances, we have one of the longest, most poignant, and most moving excerpts of our year: the account of Jesus’ sacrifice of Himself—the Last Supper, the agony in the Garden, His arrest, false Read More
