blessed palms???Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:Hmm.. must remember to take the blessed palms..
so what will these blessed palms do for you? Is not the one whose name they are blessed in greater than this? I think it is more important to take that with you. For it is through Him that we have salvation and are called sons and daughters of the Most High God. -

Did Jesus ever ask us to celebrate this? Did God ask us to celebrate this? -

It is sad that after the crowd welcomed our Lord to Jerusalem crying: "Hosanna" [orignally means 'save now'... maybe thinking, this is the Messiah who will save us from Roman oppressors] cried: "Crucify HIm!!! Crucify Him!!!" a few days after this event.

I wonder why my former church [R.C.] celebrate this event. It was celebrated by unbelievers. Just wondering.
Someone will argue: "Ah but it was the disciples who did this act"
Lu 19:36 'And as He went, many spread their clothes on the road.
37 "Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen,
Notice you can be a 'disciple', 'praise' God, 'hail' the Lord Jesus but is still an unbeliever. A few days after these, these same 'disciples' cried: 'Crucify HIm!!! Crucify Him!!!'
Disciples does not necessarily mean a true and genuine believer in Christ.
Joh 6:66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more
Many "believed" on our Lord after seeing His miracles:
Joh 2:23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did.
24 But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men,
Many follow Christ now for various other reasons. Many are lured to accept Christ because they are promised by 'preachers' of the Word that: "if you follow Christ, all your problems will be gone.........your financial problems will be eradicated and etc." Promising 'bread' that perishes. They are drawn to Christ for various other reasons aside from the SIN issue.
A true believer, however, comes to Christ because of SIN. That it offends God, sees Himself as helpless in atoning it, finds no other fountain for the solution but Christ [the bread from heaven which satisfies my emptiness of righteousness because of sin in me.]
One could be a learner in what Christ has taught but still is unsaved. Remember Judas was a 'learner'. A true disciple is one who has trusted in Christ alone for salvation. One who has possessed the TRUTH [Jesus] by placing his faith in Him alone for salvation.
I pray that these words will not be found true in us:
2Ti 3:7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. -

While this is not a life and death issue like salvation, God expects you to take initiative.

God expects you to take the initiative to celebrate His ordained feasts and not man made ones. -
Today's Mass reading was extremely long and quite unusual.
The Mass started off with the Priest reading a passage from the Gospel of John on Jesus entering Jerusalem with people welocming him with palm branches. This was followed by a procession.
Then the Gospel reading during Mass (after the usual first two readings) was done by a Priest, a narrator and another reader --- this was quite a long reading.
This week will be the busiest week for all Catholics cuz we have services from Thursday all the way to Sunday. -

It was also done for the purpose of having a gathering (got food to eat mah!!).Originally posted by Icemoon:I think you must be referring to Passover.
We had unleavened bread (sometimes we use chapati), this thing (can't recall the name for it) made from peanuts and raisins, red wine....
and most importantly roast lamb!!! Yummy. -

If you don't celebrate Lent, Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Easter, Christmas....
Then celebrate what?!
Passover, passover.. Why have Holy Communion when one insists on having 'passover'?
