Happy Palm Sunday!
As we begin Holy Week, Fr. Bill Woody, S.J. reminds us that Jesus “comes not to conquer...but to liberate and to save.” He reflects on Jesus’ desire for us to “remain close” to him, just as he asked of his disciples before his Passion. Fr. Bill tells us that we, too, “are invited this week to a difficult grace: to remain close to Jesus...[even] in the midst of the agonies of the Passion.”
