PALM SUNDAY our relationship with ourself

For our sacred relationships to thrive, we must be true to our deepest integrity.

We are often not true to ourselves. How many people who celebrated Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem were secretly troubled when they found themselves swept up in the cries to crucify him, realizing they were not true to their deepest integrity? Why did they abandon themselves in this way and then, subsequently, abandon Jesus?
