On Sun., Mar. 29, we will be celebrating the 6th Sunday of Lent which is Palm Sunday.  Jesus had set his face resolutely towards Jerusalem.  He knew the authorities were out for him because they considered him a blasphemer.  They accused him of making himself equivalent to God because he forgave sinners. This Sunday commemorates his triumphal entry into Jerusalem.  Palm Sunday begins Holy Week.
