Palm Sunday: How Will You Respond to Jesus?

There's a shocking contrast between the two Gospels proclaimed at today's Palm Sunday liturgy. In the first, heard right at the beginning of Mass, we hear of the crowd accompanying Jesus as he entered Jerusalem the last time. In reverence towards their Messiah-King, they laid down their cloaks and branches. In amazement of him, they sang, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" But in an extremely short time, the crowd in Jerusalem will receive the same Lord with great hostility, crying out, "Let him be crucified!" We ourselves shout this as we participate in the reading of the Passion account. This Holy Week how will we respond to Jesus, crucified for our sins and out of love for you and me?
