The Gospel accounts of Palm Sunday harmonize in portraying Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem as a royal procession, with crowds crying “Hosanna” and laying down cloaks—likely their most valuable possessions—as a sacrificial gesture. This greeting, drawn from Psalm 118 and still used in Jewish Passover liturgy, is both homage and plea: “Save us, we pray.” The Synoptic Gospels emphasize that everything involved—the colt, the cloaks, the palms, the Temple—belonged to God. Jesus’ authority to cleanse the Temple and silence the Pharisees stems from this truth: all creation is His. Psalm 24:1 affirms, “The earth is the Lord’s and all it holds,” and the liturgy echoes this in the Sursum Corda, urging us to lift our hearts to the Lord—not symbolically, but entirely.
This truth confronts the illusion of ownership, which Satan distorts into possession. Parents, spouses, and even clergy can fall into this trap, mistaking control for love. True freedom begins with humility and simplicity—acknowledging that we belong to God and returning everything to Him. The liturgy forms us to live this truth: to be in the world what we receive at Mass. Whether it’s our time, possessions, or even our children, nothing is truly ours. Like Abram, who was willing to give his son back to God, we are called to surrender all. The world abuses what God gives freely—air, water, even human life—but those who love God reclaim their divine responsibility to steward creation, not possess it.

The Liturgical Sense of the Readings at Mass (Year A):
The Liturgical Sense of the Readings at Mass invites the faithful to engage deeply with the Scriptures, enhancing their understanding of the Eucharist and the rhythm of the Church's liturgical life.
REVIEW: "Was grateful to receive this one in the mail before Advent. An excellent commentary to read to the family. This has become my family's reading for Friday to help us prepare for Sunday Mass. It offers a depth that is helpful to all ages. A great conversation starter for the family dinner table. Bergsma's 'The Word of the Lord' was our Friday reading prior to The Liturgical Sense of The Readings at Mass, but this has become our preferred reflection. Thank you." - JP, Abide The Fire Apostolate
