This blog post from Deacon Greg Kandra was shared with me recently. I will be participating.
A beautiful idea for Palm Sunday
How can we publicly acknowledge this important day on our calendar when so many of us will be behind closed doors?
The Missionaries of the Holy Spirit posted this idea on their Facebook page:
What if everyone on Sunday April 5 in the morning, puts a branch on the door of their house or on the window, to celebrate Palm Sunday?
It could be any green branch you can get. This would help, despite the social distancing, to be connected as we enter into the Holiest of Weeks.
Want to join?
We may be physically isolated, but not separated. We are united as the body of Christ.
We are the Church.
Yes, we are. We’ve got this. Let’s do it.

What a clever idea
Thanks for that
Not my idea though, I’m not taking any credit. I’m just sharing, because I too, think it’s a great idea. I’m going to be doing it.
