Palm Sunday

Reflection

“The tragedy we are experiencing summons us to take seriously the things that are serious, and not to be caught up in those that matter less; to rediscover that life is of no use if not used to serve others. For life is measured by love.” –Pope Francis

Prayer

Loving God,

As we begin this Holy Week in the Church calendar, we are humbled by the example of Jesus’ life, a life that was measured by such incredible love for humanity, going even to death for our sake. May we each be inspired to measure our own lives by the love that we share with and for our neighbors and the communities among us. In the midst of a broken and tragic world, lead us to extend the height, depth, and breadth of Christ’s incredible love for us. Amen.

Call to Action

Take a moment today to consider how love is a ruler for life. What are the proportions of my life’s love for others?
