We recall at the start of Mass this day the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. The crowds yelled out, "Hosanna", an expression that means, "Save us." They rightly acclaimed Him as the One who saves.
Yet He saves not in the way the world regards, for He wins through suffering, bleeding, and dying, on a Cross. In this suffering, Christ entrusts Himself to the Father, doing His will, that out of death would come a glorious Resurrection.
We who are baptized are joined to Christ, so that we share in His sufferings, and may have a share in His Resurrection.
