Pope Francis Homily on Palm Sunday Mass- Full Text

Pope Francis said during his Homily on Palm Sunday, "We must share with the world that it is good to be with Jesus, the joy of being with Jesus, with a spirit that is always young".

Today is 28th world youth day -- we must have young hearts even at 70 or 80 -- with Christ, heart never gets old.

1. Jesus enters Jerusalem. The crowd of disciples accompanies him in festive mood, their garments are stretched out before him, there is talk of the miracles he has accomplished, and loud praises are heard: “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” (Lk 19:38). 

Crowds, celebrating, praise, blessing, peace: joy fills the air. Jesus has awakened great hopes, especially in the hearts of the simple, the humble, the poor, the forgotten, those who do not matter in the eyes of the world. He understands human sufferings, he has shown the face of God’s mercy, he has bent down to heal body and soul. Now he enters the Holy City!
