Hosanna, Hosanna

The liturgy of Palm Sunday includes a reading of the Passion.  While the hosannas ring in our ears, we are reminded that the shouts of praise soon turned to “crucify Him!”

Palm Sunday is a feast for those who know how and why to celebrate in the face of suffering.  Palm Sunday is for those who lend their donkeys, or their tongues and ears, if the Master needs them.  If we can’t enjoy our moments of triumph because there is the possibility—even the certainty—of betrayal and death, then we have missed the message of Jesus’ triumphal entry.

Indeed, gang, Hosanna! -- at the close of what's felt like a very long, but fast paced Lent, every gift and grace of Palm Sunday and this Holy Week to one and all... soak it up.
