We start the Holy Week with Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The crowd welcomes Him

with cries of “Hosanna to the Son of David.” Emmanuel, which means ‘God is with us’ has been preparing us for what is coming. He is about to be betrayed, arrested, judged by us,

forced to carry his own cross and be crucified. All this he does willingly. He will have the last

supper with his disciples where he will ordain his disciples as servants of the people and institute

the sacrament of the Eucharist. On Holy Satur-day, we will wait just like the disciples did years ago. What have we done this Lenten season to

prepare ourselves.to become servant of the peo-ple?
