As we journey into the heart of Holy Week, let’s take a look at some of the key themes in our readings for Palm Sunday.
1st Reading – Isaiah 50:4-7
Called by God, the prophet speaks the truth in the face of oppression. God gives strength to face all trials and remain true in faith. Psalm – 22:8-9,17-20,23-24
“My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” Grab your Bible and read this entire Psalm…then look at the Cross of Jesus Christ! 2nd Reading – Philippians 2:6-11
Jesus “empties himself” and takes on our human form, even facing death on a cross. God glorifies Christ for his saving work, and every knee shall bend as all will acclaim Jesus Christ is Lord! Gospel – Luke 22:14-23:56
This is our great love story; Christ dies for us…even in our worst sins. Read this passage. Pray and reflect on what the Lord has done. If you find it helpful, watch one of the many films which proclaim the Passion of the Lord. Mass Readings – Palm Sunday

Let’s explore some of the themes for this 5th Sunday of Lent.
1st Reading – Isaiah 43:16-21
The prophet invites the people to reflect on God’s mighty deeds in the past. The Lord is now doing something new that will renew all creation. Psalm – 126:1-6
