As we enter into Holy Week on this Palm Sunday, we are given a stark reminder of just what Jesus was forced to endure in a very short period of time. From the heights of acclaim showered upon him during his Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem to the abysmal depths of betrayal, abuse, torture, suffering, and death just a few days later, Jesus experienced an unimaginable range of human physical and emotional pain for the sake of all humanity - for your sake - for my sake… done out of a love beyond all telling. May we embrace this most sacred time with all the humility and gratitude we can muster and be forever changed by the love Jesus has for each and every one of us.
