Palms of your hand
Palm Sunday is a celebration of Jesus entering Jerusalem. People welcomed him waving Palms and placing palm leaves and their cloaks on the way, where he came riding on a donkey.
This Palm Sunday we cannot do any of it. Not that anyone ever threw their cloak in front of God, but we definitely are cloaked well when we celebrate anything in Church. Sometimes even wondering are we cloaked well? Figure hugging dresses, ripped Jean's and T shirts that has prints definitely not appropriate to be worn in a place of worship.
This Palm Sunday as we stay indoors and hear a virtual mass on a YouTube channel, let us wave our palms of our hands to welcome the Lord. Then we are in times where we need to keep our palms washed regularly. Times we cannot kiss a cross in a Church. No Holy Water to sign ourselves.
The palms used traditionally are burnt the following year and used on Ash Wednesday. God will not expect us to burn the palm of our hands, but maybe this time HE is telling us to contemplate on the palms of our hands. Have your palms burnt anyone in deceit? Burnt anyone of their rights? Burnt yourself in selfishness, greed, fear to stand for the truth. Burnt another in hunger of a meal, or clothes, or shelter because of your not sharing or cheating?
Then it is time to cleanse your heart, soul and palms. Clean them for better good of humanity, and not crucify humanity as no one will resurrect again (atleast not in 3 days). Anyways keep the palms of your hands clean. As you will be waving to welcome Jesus into your lives, and for your safety and precaution from COVID19
Issued in the interest of spiritual and physical health of Catholics

On this Sacred occasion, I wish for you and your family to experience nothing but happiness. *Palm Sunday* is additionally known as *Passion Sunday*. itβs the start of the Holy Week and ends on Easter Sunday. According to Holy Bible, Lord Jesus entered *Jerusalem* on a donkey and all the crowd greeted him with palm leaves praising the King. This day falls on Sunday before *Easter*. The day unfolds the Holy Week. Itβs celebrated by the followers of Jesus with great enthusiasm, commemorating his victory. This day calls for spreading love and blessings. The meaning of Palm Sunday is derived from how the people of Jerusalem spread palm leaves along the way as Jesus passed by.
I wish that no problems or sadness can affect you. Life is full of ups and downs, Glorify God during the ups and fully trust in Him during the downs. Palm Sunday is beautiful because it reminds us that we matter to the *Great Lord*. Have a Divine Holy Palm Sunday everyone.π
