Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion
- One of the Twelve
  
  "Jesus was not just put to death by His enemies but betrayed by one of His own. In a deeper sense, however, the line [one of the twelve] serves as a warning to all who follow Christ — and, indeed, to those closest to Him. Judas was with our Lord for the same three years as the others. With them, he heard the sermons, witnessed the miracles, and was sent forth by Christ. And yet he betrayed our Lord. We should never think ourselves beyond the wickedness of Judas. Proximity to Jesus does not always mean intimacy with Him.

- Gethsemane
  
  "Jesus knows their, and our, weakness; knows that the disciples are not yet ready to enter the trial with him, to drink the cup, to share his hour. But Jesus does not give up on them, does not give up on us. His final, dynamic command, 'Arise, let us go' - the last words Jesus will speak to his disciples in Matthew's account before the resurrection - indicates Jesus still wants their company, even if they - and we - stumble and fall away."

- Palm Sunday Irony
  
  "Who among us has not experienced something of betrayal, fear, humiliation, misrepresentation, powerlessness, malice from others, remorse, and dark foreboding? This Passion story is not one told in philosophical, theological, or metaphorical language. No, this story is our story, full of the truths of life that no one ever has to teach us. ... This Gospel story, being very human, abounds in irony."
