Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday
March 28, 2021
Liturgy of the Palms
The crowd gathered in Jerusalem for the celebration of the Passover feast hear that Jesus is coming into the city. They take palm branches and go to meet him shouting “Hosanna” and proclaiming the arrival of the King of Israel. Jesus was riding on a young donkey, as did the kings of old in royal celebrations. The author of this gospel perceives that all of these actions are in fulfillment of ancient prophecies, as Jesus’ disciples would later come to understand.
The Liturgy of the Passion
Our reading tells of the servant who speaks for the Lord and suffers persecution, but still trusts in God’s help and vindication. This is the third of the “servant songs” that come from a period late in Israel’s exile. The servant might be thought to be the faithful of Israel, the prophet himself, or another historical or idealized figure. The people are weary and tired of the Lord’s calling, but the servant steadfastly continues. Christians have long perceived in these words a foretelling of Jesus’ mission
A psalm of trust by one who looks to the Lord for mercy and protection.
From one of the earliest Christian hymns we hear how Christ Jesus accepted the condition of a servant, was obedient even to the point of death, and was then given the name above every name. It is possible that this poem was adapted by Paul or another disciple from the hopes for a savior of a people who did not yet know Jesus. He has fulfilled humanity’s dream of one who will share fully in the mortal condition before his exaltation. To him every knee shall bow and every tongue confess the great name of the Lord now known in person, Jesus.
Our gospel is the story of Jesus’ anointing in Bethany, his last supper with his disciples, what took place in the garden of Gethsemane, the trial before Pilate, and his final suffering and death.
