Palm Sunday 2012
Each of us participates in the prayer of the Son of God offered to His Father.  We have received a character through Baptism and it has made us a priestly people.  The priest asks that his sacrifice and ours may be acceptable to Our Lord.  Despite all the distance in time and space, we are truly a part of this event which took place 2,000 years ago.  Today Christ entered the Holy City publicly as King.  After the celebratory part of this ceremony the mission of Our Lord begins in all gravity.  We must desire to be by His side at the Cross, knowing that we will triumph.  When we receive the palm, we are participating in the triumph of God over the devil every day of our life.
