THE ATTITUDE OF CHRIST JESUS The Lenten cycle brings us to this “mixed” Sun-day of palm branches and painful suffering. Our liturgy opens by recalling Jesus’ triumphant entry along the main road into Jerusalem, then moves quickly to the back streets of betrayal and humiliation, the courtyards of torture and abandonment, the hill of execution. Isaiah’s strange and gripping “Song of the Serv-ant of God” was to become the song of Jesus. It is the song of one who strides forward consistently in the face of criticism, even scorn: “I have not rebelled, have not turned back.” It is to become our song, as faithful fol-lowers of Jesus Christ. How are we to react when we hear the account of the passion and death of the Lord? Paul tells us that our attitude must be Christ’s, who “emptied himself, taking the form of a slave.” We pray that we may absorb the attitude of Christ, and face life squarely in its tri-umph and its pain. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Most Christians today receive a bunch of palm fronds, olive branches, pussy willow, or forsythia (a rel-ative of the olive) to carry in procession and to bear home in blessing. Some even offer sprigs of palm or other branches as a gesture of peace to those they have offended. The desire is to make a clean sweep of your spiritual house before the Easter feast. Accepting the branch is a token of the bearer’s willingness to journey with the Church through a grate-ful remembrance of Jesus Christ’s passion, death, and life‑giving resurrection. Traditionally, the plants associ-ated with today’s feast are planted in cemeteries as a sign of Christ’s victory over death and the promise of new life. The joy of this day’s opening procession soon gives way to a solemn reading of the Passion, this year according to Matthew. The ritual is meant not only to strengthen us to hear this account, but to stir us up to accompany the Church on this journey through Holy Week. It also prepares us for next Sunday’s joyful re-newal of our baptismal vows. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
