Passiontide Begins

“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:  Luke 19: 28 - 40

So they brought the colt to Jesus and put their cloaks over it.  

And he sat on it.  

Many people spread their cloaks on the road; 

A whole multitude of disciples began to praise God aloud with joy

For all the mighty deeds they had seen.

“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord,

Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”  

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!

Thus begins Passiontide
