Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday. This post reflects on Jesus's entry into Jerusalem, where crowds hailed him with "Hosanna," meaning "Save us!" They hoped for political liberation from Roman rule, but Jesus, riding a donkey (a symbol of peace), aimed to save them from their sins, not Rome. The people's expectations were misaligned with Jesus's mission, leading them to turn against him when he didn't meet their worldly desires. This post concludes with a prayer for spiritual awareness, asking not to miss Jesus' true purpose and to desire a relationship with him.

Holy Week reflects Jesus prioritizing teaching and revealing himself before his sacrifice. He curses a fruitless fig tree, symbolizing Israel's lack of true faith despite outward appearances. Jesus then cleanses the temple, restoring it to a place of prayer and healing, contrasting the hypocritical religious leaders. This post urges self-reflection, asking for Jesus to reveal any pretense and to focus on genuine spiritual fruit rather than the mere appearance of religion.

Tuesday of Passion Week was a day of intense teaching and debate for Jesus in the temple, where He answered challenges and taught about the greatest commandment: to love God with all one's being and to love one's neighbor. This day calls for self-examination of our devotion to God and love for others, urging us to live out this greatest commandment with a heart surrendered to Christ, even in the face of trials and opposition.
