Homily given at Mass on Palm (Passion) Sunday, April 5, 2020, by Fr. Ed Fride, Pastor, Christ the King Catholic Church. This was in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic when no congregation was able to be present. The Mass was livestreamed on Christ the King's YouTube channel; you may watch it by clicking here.
In these difficult times, Fr. Ed reminds us that we need to choose to trust in the love of God, demonstrated in the passion and death of Jesus, and surrender our lives to Him. When we cannot receive the Eucharistic Lord, we need to lean on the other means of grace that are available to us. Like the apostle Paul, we need to trust in and worship God, even in the midst of trying times.
Key words: surrender to God, trust, hope
