This was a tough episode for many reasons. Moving into the Passion is hard and Laura struggles to have the courage to share her perspectives on it. Palm Sunday has 4 readings. Here we cover the first three. The next episode is our reading of the Passion and the third episode is our discussion of it. Thank you for sharing this journey with us!

Readings:

Procession with Palms – Gospel Mk 11:1-10, Is 50:4-7, Phil 2:6-11

“All the gods, all the heavens, all the hells, are within you.”

- Joseph Campbell

The Jesus Myth by Father Andrew Greeley

Edward Edinger – The Christian archetype : a Jungian commentary on the life of Christ

A. K. Coomaraswamy observes, “Myth embodies the nearest approach to absolute truth that can be stated in words.”
