Ang Mabuting Balita - Father Tony Palm Sunday - 04-01-2012

Procession with Palms: Mark 11:1-10
First reading: Isaiah 50:4-7
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 22:8-9, 17-18, 19-20, 23-24 - My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

Second Reading: Philippians 2:6-11

Verse before the Gospel: Philippians 2:8-9 - Christ became obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Because of this God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name.

Father Tony talks about the parodoxes or contradictions that surround those five days starting with the triumphant entry of Our Lord Jesus Christ in Jerusalem. About how the King of Kings and Lord of Lords rode an ass, a lowly beast. About how he was hailed, "Hosanna!" and then maligned, beaten, tortured, spat at and crucified on Good Friday. He also talks about how to connect our sufferings and trials with His Passion.
