Palm Sunday 14th April: Focus: We are invited to accompany Jesus as he faces betrayal, abandonment, suffering & death. – Today we commemorate the passion of Jesus. Through the Gospel reading, we are invited into the story, to be present with Jesus as he experiences his arrest, suffering & death. We reflect upon the various figures in the Gospel, those who actively contribute to his persecution, those who stood at a distance, & those who would not partake of the evil that was done. As Christians, we are called to remember the events of Palm Sunday whenever we encounter suffering, whether our own or others.
