Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, the reliving of the final seven days of Jesus' earthly ministry.  On this day the Church recalls the triumphal entrance of the Messiah into Jerusalem in order to accomplish the Pascal Mystery: His Passion, death, burial, and Resurrection for the salvation of all mankind.  Jesus rode into the city on a colt as the crowd laid their cloaks and palm branches on the road before him, shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest!" (Mt 21:1-11; Mk 11:1-11; Ps 118:25-26).

Palm Sunday is an event which marks the prophetic return of the Messiah; the One who would return to gather the twelve tribes of Israel; the One who would gather his people and be their king.

This entrance into Jerusalem is Jesus, King of Israel, King of Kings, entering into our lives, and is as real today as it was that Sunday, riding on a colt.
