"Hosanna" to "Crucify": Palm Sunday 2026 (Matthew 21:1-11)
Palm Sunday: “Hosanna” turns to “Crucify”. Our hearts mirror the crowd's fickleness. Yet the humble King rides to die for us anyway. Follow Him through Holy Week.
According to Your Word: The Annunciation of our Lord Jesus Christ to the Virgin Mary (Luke 1:26-38)
At the Annunciation, God acts first: he sends, speaks, promises, and gives. Mary receives his Word in faith, and the eternal Son takes our human nature for the saving work that will lead through the Cross to the glory of the Resurrection.
The Annunciation of Our Lord Jesus Christ to the Virgin Mary: An Anglican Perspective
March 25 is the Feast of the Annunciation — nine months before Christmas. Today we celebrate the moment the eternal Word became flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary. An angel’s message. A young woman’s humble yes.
Hope in the Wilderness: Passion Sunday 2026 (John 11:1-44)
Fifth Sunday in Lent (Passion Sunday): A sealed tomb, dry bones, and the long ache of unanswered prayer. But the God who delayed for Lazarus, who spoke life into a graveyard, is still here. He weeps at the grave. He still acts. And the stone will not stay in place.
Passion Sunday: An Anglican Perspective
The Fifth Sunday in Lent. Passion Sunday. The collect does not ask for feelings appropriate to Holy Week. It asks that the heart would be fixed where true joys are to be found amid the swift and varied changes of this world. The cross is one week from Palm Sunday. Lent is sharpening.
Faith Taking Visible Form: Joseph, Husband of the Virgin Mary and Guardian of Jesus (Luke 2:41-52)
Joseph never speaks in the Gospel record, yet his faith becomes visible through obedience. He receives what God entrusts, protects what God places in his care, and remains faithful even when he cannot see the whole plan.
