In a single liturgy, we journey from triumph to tragedy, from Hosanna to Crucify Him. Today's powerful Palm Sunday reflection explores the stunning paradox at the heart of Holy Week—a king who conquers through surrender and reigns from a cross.

Through this reflection, you'll discover:
* Why Jesus deliberately chose a donkey rather than a warhorse for his royal entry
* How the Suffering Servant passages illuminate Christ's revolutionary kingship
* What Psalm 22's movement from abandonment to praise reveals about our own suffering
* How Christ's self-emptying transforms our understanding of true power

Readings covered: Luke 19:28-40; Isaiah 50:4-7; Psalm 22:8-24; Philippians 2:6-11; Luke 22:1423:56

Perfect for anyone seeking deeper meaning in Holy Week, struggling with suffering or apparent defeat, or wanting to understand how Christ's passion speaks to our contemporary world.
