Holy Week began with the celebration of Palm Sunday as we commemorated Jesus making a triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Adoring crowds lay their coats on the roadway and waved tree branches while shouting "Hosanna." Triumph turns to tragedy when Jesus is betrayed by one disciple, denied three times by another, is arrested and crucified. His followers are saddened, disappointed, and filled with fear, but then comes victory as Christ is risen from the dead and his followers cast aside their fears, regain their faith, and take the message of Christ to the world.
"Feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked,
welcome the stranger, care for the ill and visit the prisoner."
