As we approach Holy Week, we're invited to reflect on the profound significance of Palm Sunday and the events leading up to it. The story of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem reminds us of the fleeting nature of human praise and the importance of genuine, lasting devotion. We're challenged to examine our own faith: Is it based on shallow enthusiasm or deep commitment? The account of Mary anointing Jesus' feet with expensive perfume offers a powerful lesson in sacrificial worship and spiritual insight. Her act, misunderstood by others, was deeply appreciated by Jesus as preparation for His impending death. This encourages us to cultivate a heart of pure devotion, setting aside our preconceptions to truly listen and understand God's will. As we journey through this sacred week, let's strive to move beyond the 'Hosanna hype' and develop a faith that endures through both celebration and adversity.
