Palm Sunday reflection

Deacon Bill’s Gospel Reflection  for Palm Sunday:

Standing at the foot of the cross, we look up and marvel at the incomparable Christ who never wrote a book, yet more books have been written about him than anyone else; who never composed a song, yet provided the theme for all the world’s great composers; who never practiced medicine, yet has mended more broken hearts than any doctor. Lord, we thank you for saving us, we are sorry for having pained you with our sins. We pray that you hear our plea that we open our hearts and hear you saying, “I am with you” and that we may see the Easter morning that lies beyond Calvary.
