Pope Francis blesses palm branches as he ushers in Holy Week.
Pope Francis holds a palm frond as he celebrates a Palm Sunday Mass in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican, Sunday, April 14, 2019. Pope Francis warned against being judgmental and too full of oneself, including authorities in the Catholic church, in his Palm Sunday homily during Mass in St. Peter's Square, which was crowded with tens of thousands of pilgrims, tourists and Romans.
Palm Sunday services recall the cries and gestures of triumph by onlookers when Jesus entered Jerusalem. But not long after, according to the New Testament, the public's mood changed, and Jesus was arrested, mocked, scourged and executed. The pope cautioned against the temptation of "triumphalism," which he said feeds itself by "looking askance at others and constantly judging them inferior, wanting, failures."
