“Unless a grain of wheat falls on the ground and dies it remains a single grain”. But when the most special grain of all fell upon the ground, so this Sunday with all our hopes coming alive again we join once more with the crowd, when on that most special of occasions of all when Jesus entered into Jerusalem triumphant, but humble riding on a donkey. The plot was set for the most important occasion of all. It commences the process that will end with his crucifixion and death, giving rise to an early awareness beginning to grow among his closest disciples that this was far from the end of the story.
As we take part this week in these sacred events, it is with a great desire to do our best, but above all that we too will become parts of the fruit that will last, and that we will bring life to our Parish and all our communities.
