"The Worst Thing Ever and The Best Thing Ever" - Palm Sunday Homily

Christians what is Christ is ours

His name is ours in prayer.

His power, His glory, His kingdom.

His life are ours.

His cross is ours.

He said, if you wish to follow me, take up your cross.

As we just recalled

His cross, passion and death.

The worst thing ever.

not just the pain and suffering that endure, but that all happen to the Son of God.

And when we suffer with Christ, we join our suffering to Him, it is the cross.

And in talking to so many of you in the midst of suffering, in the midst of the cross, you said, it's nowhere near what He went through.

But there are some days it feels like the worst thing ever.

And yet, the cross becomes the greatest thing ever.

It's through the cross that comes so much good and victory and resurrection and salvation that is ours.

The story doesn't end on Good Friday.

Easter Sunday and beyond all the way to heaven.

God brings good out of the cross.

Why we call it Good Friday.

He brings good out of sin and its effects.

Evil, suffering, death.

He brings life.

And the Eucharist is that constant reminder for us in our ongoing suffering of this victory.

Victory of good, victory of life.

It's that reminder that He won.

Jesus won.

And we will win.

What is Christ is ours.
