This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our daily Rosary Meditation.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

Today, Palm Sunday is the beginning of Holy Week.

Usually, or I should say always, we read the story of the suffering of Jesus on Palm Sunday,

Passion Sunday, and then again on Good Friday, and then we hear the resurrection on Easter Sunday,

but we never enter into what Jesus did and taught for each day of Holy Week,

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and that's what we're doing this year. We're entering into and walking

with Jesus through Holy Week, beginning with today.

Now, God wants to give us himself to flood our soul with His divine life.

Jesus said,

Make your home in me as I make mine in you.

And to prepare the world for the gift of sharing in divine life,

God called the Jews, making them the chosen people,

the nation of Israel, giving them the promised land and the temple in which he dwelt.

But they became more attached to these gifts than to God himself.

When God came, offering his life to them in Jesus, many chose the gifts and rejected God.

In fact, the high priest said that it was better for Jesus to die and go away, rather than lose the nation to the Romans.

See, the sin of pride is to choose some gift of God over God himself.

And as John of the Cross wrote, we become as little as the things we love.
