Palm Sunday
Sun streams through the windows and falls on the chair where I sit; and shadows cover the pond layered in snow, creating a contrast of light and shadow. Today our son will board a plane and head back to college in Chicago, over two thousand years ago Jesus got on a donkey and headed to Jerusalem; did anyone comprehend the journey?
If I was with Jesus and led the foal into Jerusalem could I make it the whole way? I could handle hosannas, but would I join in the cry to crucify?
One must ask God to search the heart deeply this Holy Week.
Medicine from Sacred Scripture:
"When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, He sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. Those who went on ahead and those who followed shouted, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest." Mark 11:7
