Homily 290 – Holy Week Overview – Palm Sunday

It always seems to me that the Palm Sunday liturgy moves so quickly. At the entrance we’re acclaiming Jesus as king and yelling Hosanna, and then just minutes later we’re on Calvary wondering what happened. The good news is that today is only meant to be the introduction to what we will now commemorate solemnly…and more slowly…over the course of this upcoming week. Today’s homily gives a brief overview of the events of this special week we call “Holy Week.” God has much grace he wishes to give us over these sacred days. I pray that you will enter fully into these special celebrations which remind us what our faith is really all about.
