Coop’s Column – Royally Welcomed<\/strong> <\/a>— by Dale Cooper<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2026.the whole multitude of disciples began to praise God joyfully with
\na loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, saying:
\n“Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord.
\nPeace in heaven and glory in the highest heaven.” (Luke 19.37-38)<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

I give the rest of this column to Jorge Bergoglio, former archbishop of Buenos Aires, recently elected as Pope Francis I. In his Palm Sunday 2008 address to his Argentine flock,\u00a0 the Archbishop declared:\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cToday, here in Buenos Aires, like in Jerusalem on that day, the street made way for Jesus. The street received Him properly. The crowd stood, begged for blessings, blessings for their families, blessings for their businesses, their houses, their autos\u2026\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0Blessing, what does that [really] mean? [It means] that Jesus \u201cspeak well\u201d of something, that He approach! That He enter families, hearts, homes, autos, businesses\u2026Jesus out in the street, interacting with the crowd\u2026There.\u00a0His desire is, just as the gates of the city were opened to Him, the same is done with the doors to our hearts.\u00a0Every Holy Week He asks the same thing: \u201cOpen your heart to Me. I\u2019m not here to mortify you! I\u2019m not here to boss you around! I\u2019m not here to take anything from you\u2026I\u2019m here to give you everything. I want to make you happy.\u201d That\u2019s what He\u2019s telling us.\u00a0If we slam the doors to our hearts in His face, He suffers. Although He is used to it, He suffers. And we lose the opportunity to become happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
