Almighty God, you sent your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ,
to suffer death on the cross.
Grant that we may share in his obedience to your will
and in the glorious victory of his resurrection;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
One God, now and ever. Amen. (UMH 281)

When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, "Who is this?" (Matthew 21:10
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Save us, we beseech you, O Lord! O Lord, we beseech you, give us success! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord (Psalm 118:24-26).
Prayer for Today:
Gentle Jesus, parade yourself again on this Palm Sunday. And do not pass by but stay and invade the inward citadels of our souls with your ways. Correct us where we go astray. Assist us with the almost impossible human task of loving the unlovable which includes our enemies. Bring peace to our souls, O Prince of Peace! Make us a part of a great Christian force which brings healing of the human spirit and joy and laughter to our broken world. For those who suffer and mourn, we ask your care. For our divided world we ask for a vision among its leaders to work for peace and reconciliation. (selected from prayer for Palm Sunday in Prayers for the People, Richard Einerson.)
