In his Gospel reflection for Palm Sunday, Tony focuses on the two figures of Judas and Peter. As Tony explains, these two figures are tragic in their own ways, yet have much to teach us about what we have been created for as creatures created in God’s image. Most basically, life is not about us, and when we live as though it were we will necessarily lose ourselves and our lives will go to pieces.
