Palm Sunday -- March 24 2024
Manage episode 407736130 series 3561445
When we think about Palm Sunday Mass, we probably think about two things: the Palms, and the LOONNGG gospel reading. Both are part of the liturgy every year. But I would challenge us to think about some other things today as we hear the reading and commentary. First, how can we possibly understand God? It doesn’t seem to make sense for Him to save us by having Jesus die on a cross. How does that make sense? Yet, even though we don’t understand Him, do we trust Him? Also, while we know that crucifixion was a horrible torture, do we really understand what Jesus was suffering? And by that, I mean that it was more than just the physical pain. We’ll hear about those things in today’s podcast.
