Each year “Psalm Sunday” includes not only the entry into Jerusalem, but also a proclamation of the Passion Narrative – this year from the Gospel of Luke. Each gospel includes a version of the narrative which provides the climax for each of the four gospels, catching up themes that have woven their way through the evangelists’ entire portrayal of Jesus’ life and bringing them to a dramatic completion. In deft strokes the evangelists tell us of the final hours of Jesus’ life – his last meal with his disciples; his arrest in Gethsemane; his interrogation by the religious leaders; the trial before Pilate; and finally the heart clutching scenes of Jesus’ crucifixion, death and burial.
