Palestinian Christians celebrate Palm Sunday under occupation,

Subject: Journal from Jo
PALM SUNDAY PROCESSION
After lunch,I left alone and walked the ten minutes to the Kedron Valley. As I looked up at the steep side of the Mount of Olives,I thought,"I don't think I can make it so I can sit quietly at the Garden of Gethsemane and wait for the procession to come down!" It was very,very hot!! Just then,several young OFM's came striding by and I decided to follow them as far as I could. Lo and behold I made it to the top and down the last km. into BETHPHAGE which was traditionally the beginning of the Palm Sunday journey of JESUS. The crowds were unbelievable - parish groups, pilgrim groups, troops of scouts and guides, so many religious,priests and prelates in their various garbs.....and they seemed to have come from every corner of the globe! I shall never forget the sight of this colourful universal gathering wending its way down the Mt. of Olives (with their bands,
banners,and flags) waving their PALM and OLIVE BRANCHES while joyfully singing their
praises to JESUS CHRIST, OUR KING.

In the afternoon, we went to join our Jewish brothers and
sisters at the KOL HANESHAMA SYNAGOGUE for their

very prayful, mostly sung or chanted. They were very
welcoming and we all enjoyed the experience.

March 21st......8am Preparation for visit to YAD VASHEM by DR. DEBORAH WEISSMAN, A Jewish educator.
[ Visiting Yad Vashem? - yadvashem.org
www.yadvashem.org/museum
8.35 Departure for Yad Vashem - the central HOLOCAUST MUSEUM
We started with individual walks around the spacious gardens where hundreds of trees have been planted each one with the country or name of those who played a part in saving the Jews or contributed to the building of this beautiful museum. We then assembled at THE CHILDREN'S MONUMENT with the entrance sign, "The soul of a person is God's candle". It was very dark inside so we had to hold on to a cord rail to guide us.At one point, I couldn't sense the person in front of me and I thought," If this cord ends, I am lost and I cant turn back!" A frightening moment but nothing compared to what those children must have felt in their total darkness and no way out!! One and a half million had been killed!! FORGIVE US, LORD. I looked up towards the ceiling and beheld thousands of stars ( tiny lights ) signs of hope that light will fill our world so that all children will be loved and cared for.
After that, we wended our way through the General Museum which has 10 sections, each leading into the next one so we had to pass through all of them. Again I had the feeling of "no turning back" and feeling lost in the midst of so many alcoves and exhibits! It began with an audio-visual of Jewish life in Europe before world war 2 and immediately after, some evidence of the end, the so called "FINAL SOLUTION to the JEWISH PROBLEM"! Then came thousands of exhibits - videos, interviews, photos, letters, documents, huge piles of shoes and Jewish books that had survived the burning, .......and what impressed me most of all, THE PERSONAL STORIES OF SURVIVERS,
[ Testimonies - The Holocaust - Yad Vashem
Holocaust Survivors are our main medium for the story of the Holocaust. Their testimonies play a central role in the understanding the events of the Holocaust as ...]
which were very moving and,at times heartbreaking! We made our sad way through sections 1-7 and found sections 8-10 blocked off! Why?
Obama was visiting the next day! There was so much that we didn't have time to see but hopefully, I may have the opportunity to go back again.

Love to all,

Second Reading
From the writings of Damasus Winzen, O.5.B.
(Symbols of Christ, 44-45)
The stars
The
fact that the course of the celestial bodies influences life on earth led
people of old to the belief that the heavenly world of the stars is the
archetype and model of the earthly world, and that the stars in their unchangeable course - "eternal gods," as the Greeks used to call them - determine
the fate of humanity.
In the Old Testament the stars are not gods.
They are the obedient servants of the Lord of hosts who created them. They were called and they said: "Here we are"; and with cheerfulness they shone forth to him that
made them. When God laid the cornerstone of the earth, the morning stars sang together, and all the children of God shouted with joy. The stars are symbols of the just who obey God's commands
and, therefore, declare his
glory.
The king of Babylon is the rebellious star who wants to rule without serving his God. He is overthrown by the Creator of heaven and earth, as Isaiah
says of him: How are you fallen from heaven, Lucifer, son of the morning? How are you fallen to the earth that did
wound the nations? Only one star will rise to world
domination: the Star of Jacob, the Messiah. He is the
morning star because he was begotten
before the day of creation.
When he
appears here on earth, he rises in the dark of night like the morning star: at his birth in the stable of Bethlehem, at his resurrection from the dead, at his second coming. Each one of these three risings is announced by a star. The royal star leads the magi to the crib of the newborn king of the Jews. The morning star which rises victoriously out of the Easter night and greets the saviour at the dawn of the
resurrection is praised by
the deacon in the Exsultet of the paschal vigil: "May the morning star find the flame of this candle alive; that Lucifer who knows no setting, that star who, returning from hell, shone serenely upon humankind." When
the end of darkness has come and the last day dawns, the true Lucifer reveals himself saying:
I am the bright morning star. In perfect obedience to his heavenly Father, the star of Christ has run its course. His death on the cross was his setting as the evening star. His resurrection was his rising as the morning
star. All those who die with him in
baptism and open
themselves to his light have become
sons and daughters of the morning star, sons and daughters of God. When the last day dawns, the day star will arise in
their hearts, and they will hear from the lips of the risen savior the blessed
words: I will give you the morning star.
