info_outlineChrist comes to Jerusalem - knowing that he will suffer and die - that through his Cross and Resurrection we might be saved from sin and death. Like a firefighter, he approaches the fire to rescue us. He invites us to take his hand, that he might lead us into a freedom of faith and eternal life.
Our invitation is to let go of the sins and hurts that have bound us; to unclench our hands from past injuries and allow his saving grace to set us free.
