The triumphal entrance of Jesus in Jerusalem is celebrated today. A great number of people followed the Lord, all moving with great enthusiasm! First of all the children, who took branches of palm trees and cried out “Hosanna”!
Today is a great and joyous day for all people! “Today is the beginning of our salvation and the revelation of the eternal mystery,” chants our Church.
In today’s Gospel reading, we heard the story of a father, who pleaded with the Disciples to free his son from the demonic spirit that tortured him, but they could do nothing. Later when Jesus came close to them, Jesus performed the miracle, and saved the child from Satan
Today our Church projects the bloodstained Cross of our Lord and invites the faithful to venerate it with spiritual joy and sacred yearning. We venerate the Holy Cross of Christ, Who willingly was crucified on it.
As it says in today’s Gospel reading, Jesus taught in a house of Capernaum. The house was overflowing with people. Many of them were gathered around the doors and windows to hear Him.
