Homily by Laurence FreemanPalm Sunday 2026 - Matthew 21:1-11As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the crowd asks a question that still echoes today: Who is this? This reflection invites you not to rush toward answers, but to step into the mystery at the heart of Holy Week. Through humility, compassion, suffering, and surrender, we discover the deeper meaning of our own lives—and the hope of resurrection already unfolding within us.This is not just a story from the past. It is the story of every human life, calling us to listen, to let go, and to follow where it leads.
