However, despite the tragedy and irony of Palm Sunday, it remains a powerful symbol of hope and redemption for Christians around the world. It is a reminder that even in the face of injustice, suffering, and death, there is always the possibility of transformation and renewal. The donkey is often seen as a symbol of humility and service, and Jesus’ choice to ride a donkey rather than a horse or a chariot was a deliberate act of humility and nonviolence. In a world that often values power and aggression, the example of Jesus’ humility and compassion serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of love and service. Yet at the same time, it is also a moment of great tragedy, as Jesus knows that his arrival in Jerusalem will ultimately lead to his arrest, trial, and execution. Somehow, I feel deeply—or should I say powerfully–inspired and prepared for a meaningful Palm Sunday full of vaguely pleasant feelings about peace and love.

The celebration of Palm Sunday also coincides with recent developments in politics, including the indictment of former President Donald Trump. It is a reminder that true leadership requires a willingness to put the needs of others before one’s own interests and to work towards the greater good. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, which is the most important time in the Christian calendar.

Each of us has listened to the abandonment of Jesus, say to each other — each of us say to each other — “For me. He experienced abandonment in order not to leave us prey to despair, in order to stay at our side forever. And at the supreme moment, Jesus, the only begotten, beloved Son of the Father, experienced a situation utterly alien to his very being: the abandonment, the distance of God. The event is real, and the Lord’s abasement extreme: It is the abandonment of his Father, the abandonment of God. He sees the gates of heaven close, he finds himself at the bitter edge, the shipwreck of life, the collapse of certainty. We find it hard even to grasp what great suffering he embraced out of love for us.
