Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before Passover to purify themselves. They looked for Jesus and said to one another as they were in the temple area, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?" (Jn 11:45-56)

Of course Jesus will go up to Jerusalem to accomplish the work of our salvation. This Saturday before Palm Sunday we remember the Virgin Mary, la Madre Dolorosa, who faithfully followed her Son on his sorrowful journey and stood beneath his Cross.
