As I am preparing this reflection, it is Palm Sunday. Like last year, I find myself wanting to write an article about something so very deep and profound; a topic with such a powerful meaning…this is the topic of Jesus’ immense love for us. So, for the first time in the last five years since I started writing these weekly blogs, I am reposting the one I wrote in 2024:

Jesus, our loving Lord, faced unbelievable rejection and disrespect in His life, despite only loving, helping and serving others. He suffered the cruelest and most horrific of deaths to save us from our sins, all out of that love for us. He taught us how to live so we can be with God for all eternity.

What more could He have done?

I am left with a deep sense of wonder and awe that we each are loved so much.

Thank you, dear Jesus, for that love. May we show our gratitude by loving You (along with God the Father and the Holy Spirit) with our whole heart, mind and soul, and may we love our neighbors as ourselves. May God gives us this grace.
