Palm Sunday (wear RED today to Mass!) ...

HOLY WEEKthe most solemn and intense period of worship 
in the Christian faith, begins with
PALM SUNDAY of the PASSIONof 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 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. 

Artist: James Tissot

"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 faithits 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
