Gospels

March 25 - Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord (Mk 11:1-10 or Jn 12:12-16 (procession) and Mk 14:1-15:47 or 15:1-39)

Today we begin the liturgy with the blessing of the palms, hearing the Gospel of Jesus entering Jerusalem. Jesus is greeted enthusiastically by the people as they wave palms, a sign that they saw him as someone very special. During the Liturgy of the Word, we hear the events of Holy Week and the Passion of Jesus; the Last Supper; Jesus praying in the garden; Jesus suffering as he is beaten and crowned with thorns; Jesus carrying his cross; his death.

-- Think of all the people in this Gospel passage. Who are you most like? Who are you least like?
