Palm Sunday of the Passion of The Lord

"Christ humbled himself. Because of this God greatly exalted him."

Lord, I always find ways to praise you, to sing Hosannas to your Son. As I offer you my prayers in love and faith, lead me now to your Son's supper, to the foot of his cross, and to his glorious resurrection, that I may be truly be your follower. Amen.
