Preaching for Palm Sunday, Elsie Miranda offers a reflection on the cost of discipleship:
"It is my hope that as we prepare ours minds for Holy Week, with palms in hand—may we might find new meaning in the passion--- that calls us to renew how we understand our call to discipleship—and thus discover that the cost of discipleship simply requires that we be open to encountering Christ along the way -- open to seeing, feeling, and experiencing the betrayal, abandonment, denial and crucifixion of Jesus in our time-- in the suffering of those in our midst."
Dr. Elsie Miranda is Associate Professor of Practical Theology and Director of Ministerial Formation at Barry University in Miami Shores, FL.
