The word “passion” connotes deep, focused engagement. It also relates to passivity, interestingly. The deeply passionate person in the Gospel narrative from Luke is Jesus. He appears passive, but he is not. He is wholly self-possessed and wholly present for the one day that begins on Thursday evening at his last meal with his apostles

and ends with his burial before sunset the next day. Then follows the long Sabbath silence. The narrative of the Passion is read whole and without pause on the Palm Sunday of the Passion. This story, found in each of the Gospels, is unchanging. We are the ones who change. Each year, we bring ourselves with another year’s history to hear and heed the story we so badly need. Life has its way with us, and we look again to the Passion narratives to learn to follow.

Please Keep in Your Prayers

Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord

Reflecting on God’s Word We can find the compassion of Jesus not only on the cross, but throughout his passion. It begins at the Last Supper when he praises the apostles, saying, “It is you who have stood by me in my trials,” and promises that they will eat and drink with him in his kingdom (Luke 22:28-30). And while he predicts that Simon will deny him, he also comforts him: “[O]nce you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers” (22:32). Later in the garden, when the mob comes for him and one of the disciples cuts off the right ear of the servant of the high priest, Jesus touches the servant and heals him. Jesus is tranquil before the Sanhedrin and Pilate and silent before Herod. On the way to Calvary, he stops to comfort women who are weeping for him, aware of what they themselves will have to face in days ahead. But it is from the cross that we see Jesus as embodying God’s compassion when Jesus prays, “Father, forgive them; they know not what they do” (23:34). Then, in one of the most tender scenes in the Gospels, in the final moments of his life, he turns to one of the criminals next to him who has asked that Jesus remember him and promises, “[T]oday you will be with me in Paradise” (23:43). We take up the palms today and greet Jesus as our Savior, as Son of God, as the Compassion of God. When we look at his hands extended on the cross, we can see him embracing the world. ~ James A. Wallace, c.ss.r.

Living God’s Word

We pray to experience the compassionate love of Jesus and to be able to respond to it with all our heart and mind and soul. We ask that His spirit enter us in such a way that we will be able to pray each day as He prayed

with his final breath: “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit” (Luke 23:46).
