Today is Palm Sunday.
This is a holy time for Christians. It's not a week for celebrations.
Instead, it's a week for reflection and remembering the horrendous sacrifice of Christ's life for His children.
Flickering candles, sadness in silence, a mother weeping for her Son, imagining the agony and horror of a death by crucifixion, and hoping for the Resurrection once again----all of these are part of Holy Week.
Today, may your day be blessed.

I agree with that. One of the most memorable times I ever had was when I was a 6th grader - it was Good Friday and we were not Catholic. In fact my family didn’t attend any church. My friend asked her mom if I could be at their house for those three hours. The mom, knowing I was unchurched, talked to me what they did. They closed the drapes and for three hours they prayed. It was very touching to me. I watched. Oh occasionally my friend would look over at me and smile - To this day, I think of that special Good Friday.
I do wish Christian’s of all denominations would stop and realize what this week means instead of just going about their business - me included! You’re right - it's a week for reflection and remembering. Beautiful post.
Just wanted to pop in and say hello on this very special day of Palm Sunday.

May your Holy Week be filled with prayer and reflection knowing that next week we will celebrate with His Resurrection!
