“Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!” ~Mark 11:9 We know something about anticipation as we watch the proportions of the vaccinated occupy an increasingly larger piece of the pie charts that measure the promise of a return to life in proximity with one another. The comparison is not wrong. We long for deep connections, for days of peace, intimacy, and well-being as did those who welcomed Jesus as he entered Jerusalem. The trick is to set our hopes and expectations in alignment with all the law and the prophets, with the hope and faith that our scriptures, our traditions, and our best understandings point toward. Mark’s entry signals another entry for us in the church—into Holy Week, and its concentrated attention to what does and does not save us, what makes for life and well-being. Enter into worship.
