We have been so careless and reckless with our environment that we have now reached a tipping point. Therefore, we must act to save the planet, or to quote The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree, we will be “cut down!”

This week my thoughts centered on graduation. From preschool to postgraduate, I have always loved Graduation Ceremonies. In some quarters, these events are called Commencement Exercises. I think both names are appropriate because as Jesus said in Revelation 22:13, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
As we finish this Holy Week, let us remember that Jesus died on the cross so that God’s temple of creation (humans) can rise. The Lord sees each of us as a temple – a temple that must rise!
How can Good Friday be such a good day when Jesus walked through the streets of Jerusalem with a cross on his back?
As we go through this Holy Week, let us consider the donkey and the power created by untying the animal.
