Sr. Dorothy Maher was out for a walk in the glorious sunshine on the grounds of Résidence Bon-Secours. It was her first time outside since last Autumn! She and Sr. Monica McKenna were happy to meet old friends on their stroll, from other floors, whom they haven't seen for quite some time. Monica is taking a break enjoying some refreshments.
Palm Sunday (the lead into Holy Week) presents us with many dramatic and contrasting scenes that stir our emotions. We hold and wave palm branches as a symbol of victory, triumph, peace, and eternal life. We carry palm branches as a tribute of waving joy, before Christ, victorious over death – also as a symbol of our fickleness, betraying Christ unto His Death.
