Palm Sunday
Deacon Robert Banet
You look upset, Your Malevolence, what seems to be the matter?
The matter? I’ll tell you what the matter is! He foiled me again.
Again? What are you talking about?
The Enemy, that’s who. My servants had Him scourged, they had Him mocked. Even had Him spat upon and ridiculed.
Well, that should have made Your Malevolence happy.
Yes, indeed. I was happy. I had Him in my power. I even had my people bring Him to the Hill of Death.
And then what?
My servants killed Him! They nailed Him to the cross and He died. I won! I had Him!
Well, that should have brought you complete and total victory. So why is Your Malevolence so upset?
Why? I’ll tell you why! He came back to life! He came back from the dead!
Oh, if it were not forbidden, I would feel sorry for you.
And then after He sent His servants to tell the world of His Resurrection, they said, He is risen, He is risen.
