Which parade?
Commentary
This Palm Sunday afternoon, I will be joining a festive Walk for Affordable Housing organized by a local nonprofit. It seems particularly appropriate to do this on Palm Sunday, a day of processions and celebrations at churches across the country, but also a day on which we encounter the stark story of Jesus' Passion and death. Joyful processions meet stark suffering and the march to Golgotha. Palm Sunday invites us to notice where we find ourselves in the story of Holy Week and to discern where in this story God calls us to be.
