When I was training for ministry, I spent a year working with a Roman Catholic priest in Swinton (Salford Diocese).

On Palm Sunday we gathered outside the Presbytery door and processed with our palm leaves into the church.

The photo was taken Palm Sunday 2001, which means the two children are now ~20 years old!

Where are they now?  What difference did Palm Sunday make for them?  What about us?

Jesus, lover of the young, who said that if they were silenced even the stones would speak, enliven our praises
