MARRIAGE TIP: Many men and women are dissatisfied with their body – it’s too heavy, too thin, too old, too weak. Although love shouldn’t depend on being a hunk or sexy, taking care of oneself is a gift to your partner. Find more Marriage Rx at :www.foryourmarriage.org

PALM SUNDAY: Palm Sunday is the first day of Holy Week and is one of only two days when we hear the story of the passion and death of Jesus. The proclamation of the gospel this weekend is much longer than usual. It tells the depths of Jesus' love for each of us and for all of us... Without the story of Christ's suffering and death there is no story of Easter joy and peace. You might find it helpful as your read it to imagine yourself as one or several of the characters:
What if I had been Pilate? or Judas? or Peter?
What if I had been one of the servants? or someone in the crowd?
What if I had been Jesus?
At one time or another in our lives, we are all of these. Who am I this Holy Week?
