Jesus, Remember Me - Our Lenten journey of con ver sion has brought us to the holiest week of the Church year. With palm branches in hand we enter the holy city of Jerusa lem, proclaiming, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” From this grand entrance into the city, we fol low the Lord Jesus as He shares His last meal with His disciples, institutes the Eucharist, is arrested, betrayed, and killed.
Each year this celebration of Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion plunges us into the saving mystery of Christ’s death and resurrection. The Lord’s forgiveness of the repen tant thief reminds us that reconciliation awaits those who put their faith in Christ. Let the repentant thief’s words become our own this day: “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom” (Luke 23:42 ). Copyright, J.S. Paluch Co.
