Welcoming & Embracing the Stranger: Lenten Reflections with the Artwork of James Tissot

March 29, 2026 - Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion

Today is Palm Sunday, and as we enter into Holy Week, we will spend the first part of the week reflecting on Tissot's "The Kiss of Judas." 

Increase the faith of those who place their hope in you, O God, and graciously hear the prayers of those who call on you, that we, who today hold high these branches to hail Christ in his triumph, may bear fruit for you by good works accomplished in him. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. (Roman Missal)

Rev. Dominic Ciriaco, Director of Preaching as Hospitality Formation Program and Adjunct Professor of Systematic Theology
