Ride on Jesus, Ride! At our 9:30 am Mass today, we process with donkey and pageanters around the block echoing the praises of the original Palm Sunday crowd. This jubilant, if chaotic procession sparks the beginning of Holy Week. Flanked by the gaggle of children acting various Gospel persona, we reenact the moment of Jesus’ triumphant entry in Jerusalem. Holy Week has begun. Throughout these sacred days, the Church gives us an opportunity, through a wide array of liturgical celebrations, to retrace the path that Christ himself traveled. All of our Lenten projects and penances have prepared us for this moment: for now we embark on a journey in which we encounter the power and presence of Christ’s unconditional love. As this week unfolds, we do well to reflect daily on the last events of Christ’s life, for it is by this reflection that we open ourselves to the graces of the season.
