Consider all the past as nothing, and say, like David: Now I begin to love my God - Saint Francis de Sales.
Grant us, O Lord, that amid the uncertainties of this world we may cling with all our heart to the things of heaven, for through the Abbot blessed Enda you have given us a model of evangelical perfection. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Hence my dear brothers and sisters, this Easter season, we are called to become the light of Christ in the world because we have been reborn in Him and are new beings. So let us seek what is above, and not what is on earth and carry this light of the risen Lord into the world; testifying and preaching to the world that Jesus Christ our Lord is truly risen from the dead.
So my brothers and sisters, since today’s Palm Sunday celebration calls us to pledge our allegiance and loyalty to God who loves us through penance, mortification, fasting, charity and prayers, let us do so today with Humility, Patience and firmness of faith in Him as we participate in His passion and death this Holy Week.
My dear brothers and sisters, let the zeal for God’s house consume us and propel us into the world today, to preach, teach and live out the Word of God like Jesus Christ did.
