What does it mean? Is it about the palm tree leaves that people buy and take to church? No.
As we begin the Holy Week, let us always remember the essence of the event. We should be aware of why we are treating this week as sacred. Below is the most-of-the-time-hidden but true meaning of Palm Sunday.
P - assion of Jesus Christ :: For every day of the Holy Week, we go through the life of Jesus in his most unbearable experiences. This week is the time to look back and reflect on how Jesus sacrificed himself for forgiveness of sins in order to save us.
A - lms giving :: As we reflect on the goodness of our Lord, we give back the glory and honor to him by sharing goodness with other people as well.
L - ove of God :: God sent his only son to become our savior. He loved us back then. He still loves us today. And he will love us forever no matter what. This is what we should keep in mind and celebrate not only during Holy Week but every day of our lives.
M - ary's courage :: Mother Mary stayed strong despite seeing and feeling the pain that Jesus was experiencing. Let Mama Mary be our inspiration for every step we take in this path of life. It is ok to cry as long as we remain strong and believe that challenges are blessings.
