Yeah, and they threw in some new thing called "The Luminous Mysteries."

Me, I celebrate all during Lent. I even celebrate on Good Friday. If you're Christian you should too -- Jesus of Nazareth died that day to save us!

they switched the gospel at whim. Also I want to a funeral rosary and they picked and swapped some sorrowful, joyful etc..mixed them all up. it is just not kosher.

They must be using a dodgy translation up your way mg. An she-ass, accomnoanied by a foal is what the Gospel says. Some translations call the foal a colt (which is not the normal term for a young donkey), but there's no suggestion Jesus is riding on the poor little thing. He's on the mother.

when did the ass all of a sudden become a colt?

Hi, Eliza -

Palm Sunday is an interesting mix of emotions, as is Maundy Thursday. Both services start out with a joyous tone, and then end up very somber. Seems to reflect real life - it's never pure joy, and never pure sorrow.

And this week gives us a chance to do some of our best music.

Thank you from me too! But regarding 'the warmth of the season', it's blooming cold here in Norfolk UK. Spring seems light years away! (I've always seen Palm Sunday to be a rather solemn occasion and the start of the momentous events of Holy Week. Today in church 49 verses of the Gospel were read with quiet sadness and respect. We weren't being joyous, instead we were feeling Jesus' pain and humiliation. Perhaps Easter Day is a more appropriate time for joy?)
