Palm Sunday

Sun continued to shine.

Palm Sunday ushers in the beginning of the Holy Week. And the church was in a buzz. The young kids were distributing blessed palm fronds and youth group members were taking individual photos of parishioners. These photos will be used to create a collage of the face of Christ. Let us see how this turned out.

The thought that it will be Easter soon had had given me a jolt. I was still in the Philippines on Ash Wednesday. I remembered that my mom sent my sister a text while we were in Pizza Hut reminding us to fast and abstain on that day.

My world is so busy and noisy and I am so caught up with work and with timetables and with the secular and the worldly that I fail in keeping my Lenten promises.

If only I can do more of things I do not do a lot and less of things I do often I will be happier.

More stillness less chatter

More reflection less doing

More focus less distraction

More for others and less of self

I might be starting late (Easter Sunday soon) but again that is the beauty of God’s love – we know there is forgiveness and we can either start late or all over again!!!
