Palm Sunday – Year C
5:30 pm Novena to Our Lady
6:00 pm Mass in English
Palm Sunday is a holiday found in the Christian religion that occurs on the
Sunday before Easter. The holiday celebrates the triumphant entry of Jesus into
the city of Jerusalem, an event documented in all four gospels of the Bible. The
name "Palm Sunday" comes from the palm branches that the crowd used
to cover Jesus' path when he entered Jerusalem.Palm Sunday is exactly one week before Easter, which is when Jesus ressurected after being hung on a cross. Palm Sunday, often referred to as "Passion Sunday," kicks off Holy Week which concludes on Easter Sunday.
ISAIAH 50:4-7
4 Lord Yahweh has given
me a disciple's tongue, for me to know how to give a word of comfort to the
weary. Morning by morning he makes my ear alert to listen like a disciple.
6 I have offered my
back to those who struck me, my cheeks to those who plucked my beard; I have
not turned my face away from insult and spitting.
7 Lord Yahweh comes to
my help, this is why insult has not touched me, this is why I have set my face
like flint and know that I shall not be put to shame.
“The
Word of the Lord”
8 'He trusted himself
to Yahweh, let Yahweh set him free! Let him deliver him, as he took such
delight in him.'
9 It was you who drew
me from the womb and soothed me on my mother's breast.
17 I can count every one
of my bones, while they look on and gloat;
19 Yahweh, do not hold
aloof! My strength, come quickly to my help,
20 rescue my soul from
the sword, the one life I have from the grasp of the dog!
23 'You who fear Yahweh,
praise him! All the race of Jacob, honour him! Revere him, all the race of
Israel!'
24 For he has not
despised nor disregarded the poverty of the poor, has not turned away his face,
but has listened to the cry for help.
PHILIPPIANS 2:6-11
6 Who, being in the
form of God, did not count equality with God something to be grasped.
7 But he emptied
himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming as human beings are; and being in
every way like a human being,
9 And for this God
raised him high, and gave him the name which is above all other names;
10 so that all beings in
the heavens, on earth and in the underworld, should bend the knee at the name
of Jesus
11 and that every tongue
should acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
“The
Word of the Lord”
LUKE 22:14-23, 56
14 When the time came he
took his place at table, and the apostles with him.
15 And he said to them,
'I have ardently longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
17 Then, taking a cup,
he gave thanks and said, 'Take this and share it among you,
18 because from now on,
I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.'
19 Then he took bread,
and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, 'This is
my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.'
20 He did the same with
the cup after supper, and said, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood
poured out for you.
22 The Son of man is
indeed on the path which was decreed, but alas for that man by whom he is
betrayed!'
23 And they began to ask
one another which of them it could be who was to do this.
56 and as he was sitting
there by the blaze a servant-girl saw him, peered at him, and said, 'This man
was with him too.'
