“The very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and strewed them on the road. The crowds preceding him and those following kept crying out and saying: ‘Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest’” (Matthew 21:8-9).

Today is Palm Sunday. On this Sunday, the Church celebrates the triumphant entry of Christ into Jerusalem in order to accomplish his Paschal Mystery. Today, all the readings highlight the ordeal and humility of Christ. Today is the only day of the year when we have two Gospel readings. There is a dramatic contrast between the two of them. In the first Gospel reading that we heard proclaimed at the beginning of Mass, the crowd of people in Jerusalem welcomes Jesus in with shouts of “Hosanna!” They treat him almost as a king! Only five days later, the people of Jerusalem are shouting to Pilate, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” Few of the twelve disciples who had followed him for nearly three years, were anywhere to be seen.

Today’s celebration is full of symbols. The green palm is a symbol of peace: “He shall be the prince, and king of peace” (Is 11: 1-9; 9:6). It also represents royalty and restoration. The crowd symbolizes both praise and denial. This is because, the same crowd singing “hosanna” today, soon will shout, “crucify him!” Finally, the donkey is symbolic of Christ’s humility: “…He is humble. He rides on a donkey, the foal of a beast of burden” (Zac 9: 9).

On October 1, 2000, Pope Saint John Paul II canonized Katharine Drexel, declaring her a saint of the Universal Church. She became one of the first American-born saints of the modern era — a woman formed in privilege who chose surrender, shaped by the Eucharist, and refined by the Cross.

But canonization is not the end of a story. It is the Church’s recognition that a life reflects Christ so clearly that it becomes a model for others. Saint Katharine Drexel’s life forms a simple but powerful pattern: She was given much. She surrendered much. She adored deeply. She served boldly. She endured faithfully.

“The Eucharist is the key to the future.”
