Palm Sunday. The penultimate event during these days (second to The Paschal Mystery).
He who Is.
I am who Am.
He returns to Jerusalem finally. He is heralded in triumph as the anticipated KING.
What can we say.....the Readings are profound (read them again). Paul's masterful work in Philippians is known as the "Kenosis", a Greek word meaning "emptying".
Though he was in the form of God he took being God as not something to be grasped, so He became a SLAVE (Ph 2:6).
A slave?
Yes a slave. A slave for love. A slave for us....
God so loved the world, that He gave the world His only Son, born of a Virgin, from a far off land, the carpenter's boy. He gave us Himself, all of Himself, emptying out Himself, his blood (Eucharist) and His water (baptism).....so that all who believed in Him may have eternal life.
(Jn 3:16)
I suggest we walk around with this verse during Holy week, our immediate preparation for the Triduum, the Passion and Death of our Lord (bow) Jesus Christ.
He who is the Way, the Truth and the Life....our lives.
Say yes to HIM.............
