John 10:1- 10

Dear friends,

Today we celebrate the Good Shepherd Sunday.
In the Gospel Jesus says is the good Shepherd. He saying so because He is the one who defends us, takes care of us, makes us feel secure, never loses us, and He even lays down his life so that we may have life to the full.

This is the challenge Jesus poses to each one of us; parents, mothers, fathers, family heads, guardians, church leaders, government, Caritas for children members etc.

As Jesus looks at the world today, he sees a world that is in a leadership Crisis . A world that is Shepherd-less. A society in economic Crisis, political unrest, wars, social decay and the global epidemic of Corona Virus. However, some of our leaders have left us down! When we look around in this time of Crisis; we wonder, where the good Shepherd are?

Where are our good leaders?

GOSPEL: MT 26:14-26:66  

Hosanna, hosanna!!!!!

Dear friends,

After five and a half weeks of preparation, we now enter into the climax of the Lenten season namely Holy Week, the chief week of the Liturgical Year. Today is the first day of Holy Week and it is called “Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion.” In a way, the whole week from today until Easter Sunday should be seen as one unit, namely, the celebration of the Paschal Mystery, which is the passion, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

On this Sunday, the Church celebrates the triumphant entry of Christ into Jerusalem in order to accomplish his Paschal Mystery. Today, all the readings highlight the ordeal and humility of Christ. Today’s gospel is from the passion narrative of Christ. It could be divided into three scenes: the arrest of Christ, his arraignment before Roman authorities, and his suffering and death. It is a drama of both praise and betrayal. It started like a comedy, but seems to end like a tragedy.
