Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday commemorates Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, where He was welcomed with palms and praise (Luke 19:29–40). The crowds hailed Him as King, though His reign would soon be revealed through suffering and the cross. This day marks the beginning of Holy Week, directing the Church to the mystery of Christ’s humble kingship and His willing journey toward the Passion.

Palm Sunday calls us to follow Christ not only in moments of triumph, but also in obedience and faith through suffering. May this day strengthen our trust in Christ the King, who comes in humility to bring salvation through the cross.

Readings (Palm Sunday Procession): Exodus 15:27—16:7a / Luke 19:29–40
Readings (Palm Sunday Mass): Philippians 2:5–11 / Matthew 26:1—27:66

The Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary

The Annunciation celebrates the angel Gabriel’s announcement to the Virgin Mary that she would bear the Son of God (Luke 1:26–38). In this moment, the eternal Word took flesh, fulfilling God’s promise of salvation (Isaiah 7:14; Hebrews 10:4–10). Mary’s humble response, “Let it be to me according to your word,” marks the beginning of Christ’s saving work in the world. This feast proclaims the mystery of the Incarnation and God’s gracious initiative for our redemption.

The Annunciation calls us to marvel at God’s mercy and faithfulness. As Christ takes flesh for our salvation, may this feast strengthen trust in God’s Word, humble obedience, and joyful confidence in the salvation He provides.

Readings: Isaiah 7:10–15 / Hebrews 10:4–10 / Luke 1:26–38a
