Today, we begin the most sacred week in the life of the Church. On this day, our Lord Jesus Christ enters Jerusalem in a joyful and triumphant way. The people wave palms, spread their cloaks on the road, and shout with great excitement, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” The whole city echoes with praise and celebration.
As we approach the end of our Lenten journey, today’s readings offer us a powerful message of hope, liberation, and new life . Lent is not simply a season of sacrifice; it is a journey from death to life, from bondage to freedom .
In the Gospel of John, Jesus encounters the Samaritan woman at the well and declares: “The hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.”
Today’s readings reveal a powerful truth: God anoints us so that we may become instruments of healing through forgiveness.
