Palm Sunday, Verbø Sekmadienis, 2010

TODAY:

• Today we will hold palms in our hands and experience a moment of lightness before the solemnity of Holy Week descends. Hosanna Filio David!
• The Passion of Jesus Christ will be read.
• Jovita Sleder will greet mourners at the wake of her husband.
• Pope Benedict will be taken to task once again in The New York Times.
• Somewhere people will strike one another with a palm branch or a willow saying something like this:

  "I am not the one striking
  The Palm is striking
  You are not in pain
  The Palm is in pain
  Soon it will be Easter"

Wherever you are, pray that our hearts remain open to the infinite peace and mercy of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Pray especially for Jovita's husband, that his soul rests with the Lord and that Jovita and her family be comforted in their grief.
