PALM SUNDAY – Year C
5:00 pm Novena to Our Lady
5:30 pm Sunset Mass in English
First Reading
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.
5 Lord Yahweh has
opened my ear and I have not resisted, I have not turned away.
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.

Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 22:8-9, 17-18,
19-20, 23-24
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;
18 they divide my
garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.
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.
Second Reading
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,
8 he was humbler yet,
even to accepting death, death on a cross.
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.

Word of the Lord”
Gospel Reading
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;
16 because, I tell you,
I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.'
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.
21 'But look, here with
me on the table is the hand of the man who is betraying me.
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.'
