Palm Sunday: A Summary
New priest gave our parish its first ever (in my memory) Palm Sunday processional. I'm 95% sure he didn't tell the choir beforehand. Their panic was mildly hilarious.
My Passion narrative thoughts for this year centered on Peter. Like Judas, he betrayed Jesus. Unlike Judas, he didn't despair. But he still ran off consumed by his own grief and left Jesus to die alone. Shades of Adam in the garden.
At Sunday family dinner, tiny niece decided for no discernible reason that I had to be the one to feed her corn to her. She tracked me down to recruit me. It was adorable.
Mary Berry's hot cross buns (with some variations for available ingredients) were much more satisfying than my previous attempt. It helped that she told me they're not supposed to be eaten as a dessert like a cinnamon roll, but slathered with butter like bread.
I (re)learned how to make palm crosses and roses.
Practicing to sing the Divine Mercy chaplet for Divine Mercy Sunday went well. I remain irrationally terrified of the choir loft. I was doing great until I thought, "Wow, I've been up here for a long time without being afraid. I haven't even thought about... falling to my death, or...accidentally tipping my sister over the side." And then I got to spend the rest of the time battling anxiety between verses.
Lewis's Reflections on the Psalms is a nice-enough read so far. Nothing ground-breaking--most of the time, when he's like, "Wow, this seems weird to modern readers," I'm like, "I never read it that way," and then the way he explains it is the way I do read it. But there were some fresh insights that I'll be mulling over.
I wasn't going to read the intro material before diving into the Gospel of John, but I'm so glad I did. So much of it takes on a whole new dimension when you know the author is arguing against people who are trying to elevate John the Baptist over Jesus.
I'd never thought about it before, but the controversy kind of makes sense. From the POV of contemporary people, John could seem like the more respectable choice. He came first, and his death came at the whim of a monarch, not for any real crime. Jesus was painted as a blasphemer and a revolutionary and died a criminal's death. You'd need to do some apologetics to explain the nuances of the truth.
