It is Palm Sunday, so our gospel reading is the story of Jesus, and his disciples, entering Jerusalem; this year from the gospel of Luke. It is the end of a long journey that began back in chapter 9. When Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus on the mountain top, “and were speaking about [Jesus’] departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.” (9:31) The irony of this Palm Sunday reading from Luke, is that there is no mention of palm branches or tree branches of any kind. Listen now to our reading for today Luke, chapter 19, verses 28 through 40.
