“Hosanna to the Son of David;
blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord;
Hosanna in the highest.”
Imagine
This!
Use the power of your imagination to pray
with this scene of Jesus’ Entry Into Jerusalem.
Walk along beside Jesus. Walk along in the crowd.
Gaze at the people surrounding you and welcoming Jesus.
Savor the experience of being with Jesus at this moment
on his journey to Jerusalem.
Throughout Holy Week return often to the Gospel scene.
Gospel Scene: Matthew 21: 1-11
The Disciples GO … they did as Jesus had ordered them.
An ass and colt were brought to him
and they laid their cloaks over them,
and he sat upon them.
A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road;
The crowds precede him and follow him.
They cry out saying:
“Hosanna to the Son of David;
blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord;
Hosanna in the highest.”
The whole city, all of Jerusalem, was shaken and asked,
“Who is this?”
The people replied, You reply,
“This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Encounter Jesus
What do you See? Hear? Touch?
Where are you / Who are you in the crowd?
Mantra Prayer
Father, if this chalice cannot pass without my drinking it,
Your will be done!
The Lord’s Entrance into Jerusalem
Thus begins Passiontide
