Palm Sunday 2015

Today our religious observance and language will be meaningless if we refuse to confront the powers of empire that imprison children in our name.

Our cries of "Hosanna" must echo the cries for freedom and liberation of those detained because they seek refuge and asylum in our land.

This week will not be Holy unless we refuse to crucify the innocent.
This week will not be Holy unless we break bread and drink wine with the poor and abandoned of our community.
This week will not be Holy unless we walk the passion of the earth.
This week will be Holy if we commit to act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with all that is sacred.
