Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion 5 April 2009

Click here to download and listen to this homily (8 minutes) by Fr. Thomas Weise given at the 5:30 Saturday evening Mass.  We stand at the threshold of holy week.  Jesus stands at the threshold of Jerusalem, of the Upper room, of the Garden of Gethsemane, of Calvary, and of the Tomb.  Are we willing to enter deeply into Christ's Passion and Death so that we can also rise with him on Easter?

Click here to download and listen to this homily (6 minutes) by Bishop Edward Burns given at the 11 am Mass.  Are we willing to examine to the duality of "Hosanna to the Son of David--Crucify Him?"  There are time we invite Jesus in and the are time we send him away.

Readings: Mark 11:1-10; Isaiah 50:4-7; Psalm 22; Philippians 2:6-11; Mark 14:1-15:47
