 Fr. ANGELO’S REFLECTION
Today’s celebration, “Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord,”
holds together two extremes, Jesus who is acclaimed King and Jesus
who is the Paschal Lamb of God who gave his life for the salvation
of the world. Many Catholic homes honor this mystery by placing
blessed palm branches behind a crucifix as a constant reminder to
keep Christ as King of the household and the call to follow Jesus by
laying down our life out of love for one another.
As King of heaven and earth, Jesus has come in humility, simplicity,
and vulnerability. Recall the words of St. Paul. “Christ Jesus, though
he was in the form of God did not regard equality with God some-
thing to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a
slave…he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of
death.” (Philippians 2:6-8) The gift of Holy Week teaches us that
there is strength in humility, simplicity, and vulnerability.
In church art, a very ancient symbol for Jesus is that of a pelican in a
nest with her young. Why the pelican? In ancient times there was a
tradition which spoke about a terrible famine that covered the land
and the mother pelican could not find any food for her starving
chicks. Out of love for them, she pierces her breast and gives all she
has, her life blood as food for her young. What a powerful image of
sacrificial love and humility for us, we who are children of God.
Jesus has given us his body and blood as food and nourishment for
our journey on earth, sustaining us in our every need.
This year, St. Luke will be our guide as we reflect upon the mystery
of the Lord’s passion on Palm Sunday. Luke’s gospel has been called
the gospel of the lost and found with his unique parables of the
prodigal son, the lost coin, and the lost sheep. This theme continues
in the passion narrative from Luke’s gospel as Jesus heals the
severed ear of the servant who came to arrest him, as he reaches
out to the women of Jerusalem weeping for him, in the advice he
gives Peter to strengthen his brothers after his own denial, in the
forgiveness offered to his executioners and finally to the repentant
thief who died with Jesus.
St. Luke reminds us that no matter how far we have turned from the
Lord, God’s love and mercy are available to us! Through his journey
to Calvary, Jesus teaches us the importance of sacrificial love and
the power of the cross. By the out-pouring of his Precious Blood
Jesus has shown us what it means to live in humility, simplicity, and
vulnerability. In these final days of Lent may we turn away from sin
and open our hearts to the mercy and compassion of God so that we
will be prepared to receive the gift of God’s life and love in this Holy
Week.
