RCL Reflection for Palm/Passion Sunday Year B, March 28, 2021
Jesus predicted that all of his closest disciples would desert him when confronted with the humiliation and reality of his violent death. And they did, even Peter who protested greatly. We, too, desert Jesus when we fail to both see our own violent legacy and to work to for change and the good of all people.
