When Stockholm has been attacked, when Egypt has been bombed, what does this little Palm Cross signify in the wake of such hatred and terror?
The donkey on which Jesus rode was a symbol of peace. Those who rode a donkey proclaimed peaceful intentions.
The laying of palm branches showed that a king or a noble was arriving in triumph.
We can only pray, longingly, desperately, for peace in the world,
remembering that our Lord came to bring that peace.

Amen, joining you to pray for peace in Syria, Stockholm, Egypt....
I am a big believer in being kind to others. I believe that you are, too! xo

Have a good Holy Week, dear Barbara. We know what to pray for ...
Love, Carolien
all we can do is Let Our Lord guide each one of us through this maze... mari
I've been reading through your Easter and Holy Week posts and all are thought provoking.
Your Palm Sunday reflection speaks to me in our desperate times.
Especially Syria in the Middle East, part of what we know as the Holy Land.
What would Our Lord think.
So sad for the families trying to live a normal life amidst terrorists bombing their homes.
"I have told you these things so that in Me you will have peace. In the world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33
We can only pray and have faith dear Barbara.
Take care
