King in our Hearts
King in our Hearts
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. In this hopeful scene, we learn that real victory begins when we let Jesus ride into our ordinary streets, our fears, and our plans—teaching us that the greatest King comes lowly and close, so that every child of God can draw near without fear.
