Palm Sunday - wear RED to Mass today! ...

HOLY WEEK, the most solemn and intense period of worship in the

Christian faith, begins with PALM SUNDAY of the PASSION of the LORD
(full name), the Sunday before Easter. In spite of the spiritual gravity

of Holy Week, it begins with joy.  The Church celebrates Jesus'

triumphal entry into Jerusalem and the Church begins her

commemorative pilgrimage with her Lord on His way to Calvary. 

Wear RED today to holy Mass!

The event is mentioned in all four Gospels:

Mark 11:1–11, Matt 21:1–11, Luke 19:28–44, John 12:12–19. 

This entry into Jerusalem is seen as the

prophetic fulfillment of Zechariah 9:9-10:

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion, shout for joy, O daughter of Jerusalem: BEHOLD THY KING will come to thee, the just and saviour: he is poor, and riding  upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. And I will destroy the chariot out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the bow for war shall be broken: and he shall speak peace to the Gentiles, and his power shall be from sea to sea, and from the rivers even to the end of the earth.

"It is a fact that an age waxes or wanes

in proportion to the worship of the divine Eucharist.

It is there that is found the life and the measure

of its faith, its charity, and its vitality.

May the reign of the Eucharist

come about more and more.

For too long impiety and ingratitude

have been allowed to hold sway over the world!

Adveniat regnum tuum. Thy Kingdom come."

St. Peter Julian Eymard
