This homily was given by Fr. Matthew Howell on Palm Sunday, on which the Orthodox Church commemorates our Lord's triumphal entrance into Jerusalem.
**Editor's note: A minute into the homily, Fr. Matthew says "Imagine for a minute, the the relief that would come if your homeland were occupied by foreign invaders." What he meant to say was, "Imagine for a minute the relief that would come if you saw your potential Deliverer after your homeland were occupied by foreign invaders." He apologizes for this mistake.
