Palm Sunday




*****"In every human life, in yours and in mine, the palms and the passion are intermingled. We accept the first with gratitude and the second with faith and look forward to that moment when, having given back all that we were given, we enter into the unutterable joy of eternal life."
Father John Speekman, Palm Sunday Homily

What a wonderful painting...wish I knew how to put things like thos on my blog (I'm still definitely challenged, but teachable). It means even more because my late husband was Polish (although raised in South America) and this artist is definitely Polish plus I got to go to Poland about seven years ago, for six weeks.

blessings to you,
marcy
