Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Palm Sunday or Passion Sunday Jesus is welcomed in triumph into Jerusalem and feted like a King. Pic- ture yourself in that crowd. Are you part of the cheering crowd who in a few days will be yelling for his crucifixion? Or are you one of the plotters con- spiring in the background? Who are you? Please read one of the accounts of the passion this week. Enter into it as a participant. Go to Jerusalem. Be part of the crowd. Journey to the upper room. Walk the way of the cross. Be at the tomb on Easter morning. In that way you will pray and meditate on and with the Lord and better get to know the kind of person you are and are more ready to rise with him on Easter Day. Let the journey continue, Fr Karl
