Once again, Archbishop Thomas Wenski led the Palm Sunday Mass at St. Mary Cathedral on March 29.
The procession started at 10 a.m., with the St. Mary Cathedral Choir singing at the beginning of the ceremony.
Archbishop Thomas Wenski recited the opening prayer and blessed the palms.In his homily, Archbishop Thomas Wenski reminded us that Palm Sunday is an invitation to each of us to join Jesus’ parade. "On Sunday, Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem in a parade filled with cheers; on Friday, Good Friday, he leaves Jerusalem in a parade filled with jeers."
"He died to save us. Jesus entered Jerusalem knowing what awaited him, but he went because we matter to him. ‘God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten Son to save the world.’ Does he matter enough to you that you join his parade? If he does, then join the parade — you may find more jeers than cheers if you follow him; but he shows you the road to true glory — not worldly glory, but heavenly glory. That’s where the parade ends — in glory; but as the Scriptures remind us this Holy Week, the road to glory passes by way of the Cross."
