Sunday, March 25, 2018: (Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord)

Jesus said: “My people, right before I was to die, one thief called on Me to save his life, but the good thief asked Me to bring him into My Kingdom. (Luke 23:42-43) ‘Lord, remember Me when you come into your Kingdom.’ and I said to him, ‘Amen I say to you, this day you shall be with Me in Paradise.’ These words are what all of My people want to hear. For your goal on earth is to die to self and pick up your cross, so you can unite your suffering with Me. Then you will have your reward in heaven as the good thief. As you listen to My Passion in the Gospel, know that this is why I came on to the earth as a man, so I could suffer and die to offer up My life as a ransom for all the souls of sinners. After I died, there was an earthquake. (Matt. 27:51-53) ‘And behold the curtain of the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent, and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep arose. They came forth out of the tombs after Jesus’ Resurrection, and they came into the holy city, and appeared to many.’ This is what gives hope to all of My faithful, that after you die, you will one day be resurrected into your glorified bodies in heaven.”
