Here
we can see Father John blessing the palms by sprinkling them with holy
water. We all remember that the crowds welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem,
waving palm leaves and shouting 'Hosanna!'. We know that they soon changed
their minds, wanting to get rid of Jesus.This is why we have the palms
made into crosses to take home. Soon, Jesus was condemed to death upon
the Cross, which is why today is also called Passion Sunday, to remember
his suffering and death to come.
We
have given Mrs. Be-done-by-as-you-did ears to listen more carefully, eyes
to see more clearly and lips to say nice things. We have made sure she
has a heart full of love and hands to do good things. Today we give her
feet, so that she can walk God's way.
We
drew round our own feet and filled them with ideas about the way we move
to serve God.
