Sunday, March 24, is Palm Sunday 2013.
Palm Sunday is the start of Holy Week for Christ followers. On Palm Sunday, Christians mark the occasion of Jesus Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, when palm branches were placed in His path, before His arrest on Holy Thursday.
It’s the sixth and last Sunday of Lent and beginning of Holy Week. The biblical story of Palm Sunday is recorded in all four of the Gospels (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-10; Luke 19:28-38; and John 12:12-18). Unlike other Masses, Palm Sunday contains two proclamations of the Gospel. The first is from Luke’s account of Jesus Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem.
PS: Encouraging Words -
"I pondered the direction of my life,
and I turned to follow your laws. …
O LORD, your unfailing love fills the earth;
teach me your decrees."
Psalm 119:59, 64
