The Bishop of Worcester, John Inge, reflects on how different this Palm Sunday is, when even the city of Jerusalem is closed, and the only gates we can open are those of our hearts.
As today would have been the Chrism Eucharist in the Cathedral, Bishop John and Bishop Martin have prepared this video. "It's a great sadness to Bishop Martin and to me that we're not able to be together with you in the cathedral, as we normally would be on this Monday of Holy Week for the Chrism Eucharist."
On the Tuesday of Holy Week, Bishop Martin reflects on the value of taking some time to be at the foot of the cross – to be with Mary Magdalene, Mary, Jesus' own mother, John, the beloved disciple, and, of course, above all, to be there with Jesus, the crucified.
