Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion
Palm Sunday of Lord's Passion
March 16th, 2008
St. Xavier Parish Home Page
Brothers and sisters in Christ, our Lenten journey of repentance has led us to the gates of the holy city of Jerusalem. With the crowds who followed Jesus and acclaimed him as their Messiah we raise our palm branches and join in festive song. We then follow Jesus along the way of teh cross as we share in his passion and death. Let us begin this solemn liturgy with hearts open to the saving work God will accomplish in this holy place as we begin this holiest of weeks.
We extend our sympathy and prayers to the family and friends of Aggie Schuster who passed away last week. May the loving God welcome her to eternal glory.
