We begin and end our journey through Holy Week with cries of joy. We begin with shouting, “Hosanna! Hosanna!” as Jesus triumphantly enters Jerusalem. A few days later, we plummet to moments of darkness. Evil crowns our Lord with thorns and nails Him to a cross. The agony of our Lord's Passion ushers in the new and everlasting covenant. We rejoice, "Alleluia! Alleluia!" on Easter morning as we celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection and His conquer over sin and death.
As we begin this week I would like to suggest we focus on our hands. On Palm Sunday we take palms into our hands and wave them in the air and proclaim that Jesus is our King! "Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord!" Let us not concentrate on the palms in our hand, but rather the palms of our hands. Let us continue to raise the palms of our hands with praise to our Lord not just today, not just this week, but throughout the year. Let us continue our journey being Easter people every day! Jesus has shown us "the way, the truth, and the life" and that is truly worth celebrating! Let us begin this Holy Week remembering that Jesus truly is King!
