Sunday, March 16
PARTICIPATION
On Palm Sunday we remember the entrance of Jesus into the city of Jerusalem as the crowds cheered, “Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” A few days later, the crowd would yell, “Crucify him.” Mass today includes the reading of the Passion of Jesus, this year from the Gospel of Matthew, and draws us toward the celebration of the Triduum at the end of the week.
