This week, many Christians around the world observe Palm Sunday, the day that begins Holy Week. The celebration is particularly meaningful as it shifts from celebration to a period of challenge, reflection, and uncertainty before Easter. The power of welcoming others through simple acts such as holding the door for someone, offering a kind word to a stranger, checking in on a friend who has been unusually quiet, and choosing patience instead of irritation in a stressful moment. The most meaningful victories are often the quiet choices we make each day to meet the world with compassion, humility and hope.
