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.
