I am tired of saying that phrase!

You might be wondering, "What phrase is she talking about?"

So it's Palm Sunday which only means one thing; its the long mass reading day. Let's face it, that is first thing that crosses your mind when you get to mass. You see those palms and you are thinking, "Schucks, I am not in the mood to stand for that long today."

Well, it's the least you could do. I am not sure if you were paying attention when the long Gospel reading was going on, but Jesus died for you. Yup, not just me, He died for you as well.

Ever wonder why the crowd is the one year after year saying, "Crucify Him, Crucify Him." Isn't it funny that we are the ones chosen to speak that phrase because we are the ones that "Crucify Him" day after day when we sin. His death on the cross was a free selfless gift He made of us. Grace was out poured when he was crucified. He gave us all He had at the cross, even His mother, Mary.

But we are so selfish and cannot take the time to even thank him for his gift for our salvation. When we sin, we say, "Crucify Him, Crucify Him." To be honest I am tired of saying that phrase! Think about next time....

Your grace is more than enough for me Lord.
