Holy Week

Yesterday began the holiest week for Christians - given that why has it become so commercialized?

When I was young the only place that you could obtain palms was by going to Church - the palms would be blessed by the Priest and then given to each attendant throughout the Mass.  Today palms can be bought at Wal-Mart.

I don't quite remember when Wal-Mart became a place of worship - I don't see any Priests in the aisles nor any sinners repenting.

Let's remember where church belongs - in our hearts and in our actions.  Not at the local Wal-Mart.

As we enter this last phase of Lenten, keep in our minds and spirits what these next few days mean and how we are who we are because of the sacrifices made on our behalf.
