Palm Sunday at Home
For the second year in a row, we’ll not be at church on Palm Sunday, and I won’t be in charge of the donkey.

Palm Sunday in Extraordinary Times
I live in Austin, Texas, where, along with much of the country, I expect to remain under a “Shelter in Place” order during Palm Sunday. What a strange contradiction on a Sunday in which we would ordinarily march around the streets of the church, waving palm branches, and loudly singing, “Hosanna in the highest!”
Preparing for Holy Week at Home
Palm Sunday will be here in just a few short days and I am not ready for it. I’m not ready for Holy Week as a priest, as a parent, or as an individual person trying to follow Christ. And yet, it’s coming.
On Palm Sunday: Hey Jesus, won’t you fight for me?
Palm crosses are an outward and visible sign of the triumph of sacrifice and love.
