Passion/Palm Sunday 2024
1st Reading: Isa.50:4-7; 2nd Reading:Phil 2:6-11 ; Gospel: Jn 12:12-16
Groaning under the weight of our sins and wickedness Our
Lord Jesus Christ still went on to his death pleading that we all b forgiven.
Harden not your heart!!!
With purified minds and bodies and with the blessed palms we journey in spirit and on the road to acclaim Jesus Christ Our ass- humble Savior King. As we listen attentively to Isaiah’s prophecy of Jesus’ suffering and the New Testament narrative of Jesus’ humiliatory death we are further prepared for the full mystery of our salvation which unfolds on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Vigil. May our love and faith be increased thereby.
His Grace Most Rev Anthony J.V. Obinna (Archbishop Emeritus) Owerri Archdiocese.
