Today begins HOLY WEEK, the most sacred time of the year. We remember Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem, when He was met by crowds of disciples who joyfully welcomed him to the holy city. As the palm branches are blessed today, we welcome Jesus into our lives, asking that He make them holy by His presence. Then, as we leave church today with our blessed palms, we will praise God with joy, for Christ has won victory over sin and death, winning for us our salvation.Read More -

There is one theme always for the Mass: The Paschal Mystery. Repentance, renewal, a future, new life, restoration, new creation—all can speak to different listeners today depending on where one is on life’s journey. That is the work of the Holy Spirit. Each of us is a sinner. The good news proclaimed this day is God’s love and mercy are greater than any sin we can imagine. Turn to God this day and ask for forgiveness. Our God is a merciful God, always ready to forgive us. Let us thank God for His over-flowing mercy and forgiveness as we continue our Lenten journey.Read More
