Father Anthony reflects on Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a humble donkey, revealing how true kingship is crowned not with power, but with gentleness and peace. He shows how Jesus enters the city—and our lives—not to crush enemies, but to carry our burdens and fulfill God’s promises of mercy. The crowd’s palm branches and shouts of “Hosanna” become a living sign of every heart that dares to welcome Christ as Lord.

Father Anthony reminds us that during times of struggle, we can take comfort in our inherent dignity and beauty because God created us in His image.
