We began our liturgy this morning … as we do on each Palm Sunday … with the blessing of the palms and a procession into the church as we remembered Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. This marks the beginning of our Holy Week. We then quickly moved in the service to the reading of the Passion Story … this year from Mark’s gospel. From triumphal entry to his death by crucifixion in just a few short verses. From riding a donkey into Jerusalem at the beginning of the week, to being put to death for speaking truth to power at the end of the week.
