Gospel for March 28 2021 – Mark 14:1-15:47
Gospel Reflections for March 28 2021
Follow me!
On this Palm Sunday if you come to Mass you will receive palms to wave as the people in the Gospel waved palms and celebrated the arrival of Jesus into Jerusalem.
You can still celebrate the most central event of this Gospel no matter where you are.
This account of His last days always recalls the very first days of His ministry, when He walked along the shore of the Sea of Galilee and called His first disciples together.
He began His invitation with two simple words, and they remain today the entire summary of what it means to be Catholic. These two words encompass everything you need to know about your faith and how to live it well, no matter where you are.
Jesus looks at each person directly in the eye and simply says, “Follow me.” What else do you have to know? That is the whole summary of our faith. In every moment of your life, even while staying in your home, you must seek only to follow the example of Our Lord.
As the crowd physically followed Jesus into Jerusalem that first Palm Sunday, decide to follow Him all this week as well, by joining with Our Lord in our Holy Week services outdoors or on online services at stbrunochurch.org.
Follow Him on Holy Thursday, and celebrate the Last Supper He shared with His disciples. He knew you would need His presence with you after He was gone so He left His Eucharistic presence to encourage you with His love for you each and every week.
Follow Him on Good Friday in His Way of the Cross and His crucifixion on Calvary. You can see just how much suffering He would endure out of love for you. You can ponder His amazing words from the Cross even as He is being crucified as He asks God to “Forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
Follow Him on Easter Sunday, when you can celebrate His resurrection …and the victory of the way of Christ over death and all suffering when He rose from the dead.
No other person in history has ever risen from the dead so the life of Our Lord is worth taking seriously, even if you are staying at home.
His way works for true and lasting happiness for those who always follow Him!
God Bless!
