PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD

From the desk of Father Ronald A. Potts:

Today, we gather to celebrate Passion Sunday recalling

Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem with the blessing of our

palms. We also listen and reflect on the Passion of Jesus

according to Luke evoking the cruel and harsh conditions of

His death which brings about His victory over sin and death.

In Isaiah, we meet the Suffering Servant whose perseverance

and fidelity are exalted. Where does his strength come from?

The Servant puts his trust in God and remains nonviolent as he

is attacked. The Lord instructs him and therefore he must

speak the word he is given. The daily nearness of the Servant

to the Master explains his courage and ability to comfort

others who are tired.

Jesus is presented as the Servant of God and the cruelties

inflicted on Him were its profound realization. Such is the

logic of the cross: to die by the hatred of others in order that

they may live again by Christ’s love. Only God can give all of

us proofs of His love and render us capable, through the

example of Jesus, His Servant, of hoping against all hope in

the victory of love stronger than death.

In St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians, we read the

Christological hymn of Jesus. It immediately places us at the

center of the divine mystery and therefore our own human

mystery. God desired us to be saved by one like ourselves

though free from sin. Christ humbles Himself by entering into

our humanity. From beginning to end, Christ’s earthly life was

a “Yes” to God so that salvation would be brought to our

world through Him. Just as sin and death entered our world

through Adam, salvation is brought forth by the New Adam,

Jesus. Our hymn of praise and glory to God for so great a

Redeemer is “Jesus Christ is Lord!”

As we read the Passion according to Luke, we become

aware of the number of people who are mentioned in the story.

We meet the disciples, crowd, soldiers, Jewish leaders, thieves

and others. As disciples, we are inspired by those who meet

Jesus along the way to Calvary or stand at the foot of the cross.

Simon helps Jesus to carry His cross; the women and children

comfort the Lord as He makes His way to Calvary; the good

thief begs for mercy; and the centurion professes his faith on

seeing Jesus die. Jesus shows His total trust and assurance in

God knowing that His prayer will be heard as He entrusts His

spirit to the Father. Throughout His passion and to the end,

Jesus does not cease doing good as He wins salvation for us

and our world.
