Episode 70: Year B – Palm Sunday

In this episode of the Sunday Catholic Word, we focus on nine details found in this upcoming Sunday Mass readings for Palm Sunday, Year B. The first two details come from the Gospel reading for the procession with palms, which is taken from Mark 11:1-10. The relevant apologetical topic is Jesus’ Messiahship. The next set of details come from the second reading, taken from Philippians 2:6-11. The relevant apologetical topics that arise with these details are Christ’s divinity and Christian universalism, the idea that all we will be saved in the end. The last few details come from the Passion narrative, which is taken from Mark 14:1-15:47. The relevant topics that we will focus on are the timing of Jesus’ death (and consequently the timing of the Passover meal), and the timing of Jesus’ trial.
