Once again, Palm Sunday has come and this year we read the entire Passion of our Lord according to the Gospel of Mark. It was quite moving. While it is always difficult to hear what Jesus endured for us, it is humbling to be reminded that it was all done out of love. God’s love for the creation God made good.
It was also moving to celebrate Holy Communion in the middle of reading chapter 14, just after hearing about Jesus celebrating the final supper with his disciples and the new covenant made through his body. Again, a covenant made out of love. God’s love - for you and me, each and every one of us, both individually and corporately.
So as we once again have entered the holiest of weeks of the church year, we are reminded that God loves us. And while we will not be celebrating all the regular services of the week together once more, that does not change the promise or the assurance of God’s love. Nothing does!
Blessings. And prayers.
