Make Way | Palm Sunday | Rev. T. J. FitzGerald | 04.13.2025

On this Palm Sunday, Rev. T. J. FitzGerald invites us into a journey to explore what it means to choose the path of love in a time of fear. Drawing from the story of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, the poetry of Mary Oliver, and the complexities of modern life, this Unitarian Universalist sermon speaks to those seeking courage, clarity, and spiritual depth in troubled times.

In this reflection, we ask:
What is the passion that moves us forward, even through pain?
How do we recognize the “voice still and small” calling us to act?
What idols are being welcomed in today’s cities of power—and what does our faith say in response?
How does the story of Palm Sunday guide Unitarian Universalists in living our values of justice, love, and freedom?
