Sunday March 16th 2008 - Palm Sunday
SCRIPTURE
If you are God's Son, come down from the cross!
Mt.27:40
OBSERVATION
Today Mass starts with us crying out "Hosanna to the King!" and ends with the mocking cries to Jesus dieing on a cross. Jesus' public ministry started with Satan mocking Him in the desert, "If you are the Son of God...", and ends with the same mocking words, If you are the Son of God...". Nothing had changed, and yet everything had changed.
APPLICATION
The holiest week of the year starts today. But the world doesn't stop; we have the same TV programmes, the same work schedule. Nothing has changed, and yet everything has changed. What am I going to do to make this week different, to make this week a holy week?
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, this week I enter into Your Passion and death, where You made everything different.
Little Flower, please pray for me.
