Preaching for Palm Sunday, Mūmbi Kīgūtha, CPPS invites us to consider where we stand as Christ's Passion continues today:

"Palm Sunday asks us a question. Will we follow Jesus only when it is popular? Or also when it costs us something? I love Palm Sunday. I love the waving of palms. It is easy to wave palms. It is harder to carry a cross."

Mũmbi Kĩgũtha, CPPS, is a Sisters of the Precious Blood, born and raised in Kenya and currently residing in Silver Spring, Maryland. She currently serves full-time as President of Friends In Solidarity, Inc, a nonprofit organization that supports development efforts in South Sudan. Mũmbi is also the founder/director of Watawa Wa Taa, an initiative dedicated to reimagining and revitalizing religious life for African women through ongoing formative circles and the curation of African sisters’ stories through theologically reflective essays.
