Spiritual Reflections
The 2nd Reading for Sunday, April 14, 2019 – Palm Sunday
Christ Jesus, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. --Philippians 2:6-11 

Reflection
On Palm Sunday, we read about Jesus’ triumphant entrance into Jerusalem and the story of His passion and death. In the second reading, Saint Paul gives us a hymn of praise that helps us to recognize just how much Jesus was willing to sacrifice for His love of us. Jesus emptied his entire being--human and divine--as a sacrifice for us, not only the collective "us," but for you and me as individuals. He would have suffered and died for any one of us, and His love is an example of how we are to love. We are to love sacrificially, and God will bless us as He exalted Jesus. 
Saint of the Week--Saint Bernadette Soubirous, April 16

Saint Bernadette was a poor, uneducated peasant girl who no one would believe had seen apparitions of the Blessed Mother. But Mary had appeared to her, and Lourdes has become a popular shrine of devotion to Mary, the Immaculate Conception. The site is famed for healings, too.

For more information on the Saints, visit Franciscan Media’s Saint of the Day .
Prayer for the Week  
Almighty and ever-living God, who, as an example of humility for the human race to follow, caused our Savior to take flesh and submit to the Cross, graciously grant that we may heed His lesson of patient suffering and so merit a share in His Resurrection, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
