This Palm Sunday is different from any we have ever had. We have no choice but to stay at home. Many of us feel lost, and Palm Sunday doesn't feel as special as it usually is, since we aren't going to Mass. But even though we're not in the church building, we can still celebrate this feast. Here are some ideas, but feel free to make up your own!
- Family rosary walk - taking a family rosary walk is a good way to set the day apart from other days.
- Dressing up - if you've been watching Mass in your pajamas for the past few weeks, try wearing whatever you would normally wear to Mass, to remind yourself that this day is different!
- Print out images of palms - many churches aren't giving out palms this year, so to remind yourself what day it is, print out pictures of palms or palm crosses and cut them out.
- Continue to watch Mass - make sure to watch Mass! Even though you can't physically be there, you can spiritually be there. Remember to make a Spiritual Act of Communion!
- Fast - if you feel compelled to do something bigger, then you can always fast to remind yourself that this is a Sunday set apart from the rest.
- Make sacrifices - make sacrifices to commemorate the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made on the cross.
If you have any other ideas, please email them to me, and I will put them up! God bless you!
