Christ was humbler yet, even to accepting death, death on a cross. But God raised him high and gave him the name which is above all names.

SUNDAY 29th March

“In the palm procession our heart feels a joy mixed with sadness at sight of the Master’s seemingly ephemeral triumph, prelude of suffering and death” (Archbishop Luis Martínez). Today’s Mass recognises that Jesus’ real triumph, glory, and kingship will be revealed when he is lifted up on the cross. Jesus’ experience of being loved and hated, of being welcomed and then rejected, provides us strength to endure the caprices and injustices of our own life. United to Jesus, our suffering leads to glory. 

Collect

Almighty ever-living God,
who as an example of humility for the human race to follow
caused our Saviour to take flesh and submit to the Cross,
graciously grant that we may heed his lesson of patient suffering
and so merit a share in his Resurrection.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

I hid not my face from disgrace, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.

FOR DISARMAMENT AND PEACE
LET US PRAY THAT NATIONS MOVE TOWARD EFFECTIVE DISARMAMENT, PARTICULARLY NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT, AND THAT WORLD LEADERS CHOOSE THE PATH OF DIALOGUE AND DIPLOMACY INSTEAD OF VIOLENCE.
