Blessed
is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
BLESSING OF PALMS
The
Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Let us pray.
We
praise you, O God, for redeeming the world through our Savior Jesus Christ.
Today he entered the holy city in triumph and was proclaimed messiah and king
by those who spread garments and branches along his way. Bless these branches
and those who carry them. Grant us grace to follow our Lord in the way of the
cross, so that, joined to his death and resurrection, we enter into life with you;
through the same Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
PROCESSION
Let us go forth in peace,
in the name of Christ. Amen.

The grace of our Lord, Jesus
Christ, the love of God, and communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
And also
with you.
PRAYER OF THE DAY
Children's message
FIRST READING: Isaiah 50:4-9a
4The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of a teacher,
that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word.
Morning by morning he wakens— wakens my ear to listen as
those who are taught.
5The Lord GOD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I
did not turn backward.
6I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to
those who pulled out the beard;
I did not hide my face from insult and spitting.
7The Lord GOD helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced;
therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I
shall not be put to shame;
8he who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together.
Who are my adversaries? Let them confront me.
9It is the Lord GOD who helps me; who will declare me guilty?
PSALM: Psalm
31:9-16
9Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I | am in trouble; my eye is consumed with sorrow, and also my throat | and my belly.
10For my life is wasted with
grief, and my | years with sighing;
my strength fails me because of affliction, and my bones |
are consumed.
11I am the scorn of all my enemies, a disgrace to my
neighbors, a dismay to | my acquaintances;
when they see me in the street | they avoid me.
12Like the dead I am forgotten, | out of mind; I am as useless as a | broken pot.
13For I have
heard the whispering of the crowd; fear is | all around;
they put their heads together against me; they plot to | take my life.
14But as for me, I have trusted in | you, O LORD. I have said, "You | are my God.
15My times are | in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who | persecute me.
16Let your face shine up- | on your servant; save
me in your | steadfast love."
SECOND READING: Philippians
2:5-11
5Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, 6who,
though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God as something to be
exploited, 7but emptied himself, taking
the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being
found in human form,
8he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of
death—even death on a cross.
9Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that
is above every name,
10so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in
heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to
the glory of God the Father.
GOSPEL: John 12:12-16
12[Five days before the Passover] the great crowd that had
come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
13So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet
him, shouting,
"Hosanna!
Blessed is
the one who comes in the name of the Lord—
the King of
Israel!"
14Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it; as it is written:
15"Do
not be afraid, daughter of Zion.
Look, your
king is coming,
sitting on
a donkey's colt!"
16His disciples did not understand these things at first; but
when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been
written of him and had been done to him.
Praise to
you, O Christ.
HYMN The
Palms
are strewn this day in festal preparation,
Where Jesus comes to wipe our tears away
E’en now the throng to welcome Him Prepare
Refrain
Join
all and sing. His name declare,
Let every voice resound
with joyous acclamation,
Hosanna! Praise ye the
Lord
Bless Him who cometh to
bring salvation
His word goes forth, and peoples by its might,
Once more regain
freedom from degradation,
Humanity doth give to
each his right
While those in darkness
are restored to light.
Refrain
Sing and rejoice, O blest Jerusalem,
Of all thy sons sing
the emanicipation,
Through boundless love
the Christ of Bethlehem
Brings faith and hope
to thee forevermore.
APOSTLES CREED
I believe in God, the
Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
God's only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born
of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,
died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day
he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right
hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen
