Palm Sunday

Oh Jesus, you came into Jerusalem riding on a donkey

While the crowd waved palm leaves

And laid them down at your feet like a carpet

Shouting hosanna in the highest and 

Praise to the Son of David

Everyone thought you would be King

Looking over the city of Jerusalem

You said, "Oh Jerusalem, Oh Jerusalem

How I long to gather [my] people,

As a hen gathers her chicks beneath her wings,

But you were unwilling"

We remember Palm Sunday by going to church

and the priest blesses the palm crosses.

Then we keep these palm crosses until the following year

And burn them on Ash Wednesday.

Amen
