Devotion for today: Jesus invites us all into His kingdom

Today is Palm Sunday of the Passion of Jesus Christ. Let us reflect on the part of the passion where Jesus admits the good thief into His kingdom, and let us pray we hear the same words as we pass.

Luke 23: 39-43

One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”

But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. ”

Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

Jesus, Remember Me Lyrics

by Taizé

Jesus remember me, when you come into your kingdom.
Jesus remember me, when you come into your kingdom.

Jesus remember me, when you come into your kingdom.
Jesus remember me, when you come into your kingdom.

"I assure, this day you will be with me, 
this day you will be, with me in paradise."

Jesus remember me, when you come into your kingdom.
Jesus remember me, when you come into your kingdom.
