Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord

Read

Today marks the
beginning of Holy Week. Lent will end at sunset on Holy Thursday and the three
days of the Paschal Triduum will begin.

Reflect

Take extra time with
the Scriptures today with the art of lectio divina.

Pray

Almighty ever-living God,

who as an example of humility for the human race to follow

caused our Savior to take flesh and submit to the Cross,

graciously grant that we may heed his lesson of patient
suffering

and so merit a share in his Resurrection.

Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit,

one God, for every and ever.

(Collect, Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord, Roman Missal, Third Edition)

Act

As we remember
Christ's suffering and Death in today's gospel reading, reflect on the
suffering of many communities around the United States today. Listen to this 2-minute
podcast about the Option
for the Poor.
