Palm Sunday

Reflection

Lord, remember not only people of good will but also people of ill will.
Do not remember only the sufferings that have been inflicted on us but remember too the fruit we have bought as a result of this suffering:
The comradeship and loyalty, the humility and courage, the generosity and greatness of heart that has grown out of it.
And when they come to judgement, let all the fruits that we have borne be their forgiveness.
(Prayer found in Auschwitz)
